luck this past year with my songs I mean

talk to them in the way I really feel

inside like I'd like to ask you about a

recent football match but somehow I just

can't I have to let it come from whoever

I'm talking to I bet you feel

uncomfortable talking to me people do

interested in music and songwriting

want to write more descriptive songs

anywhere Pete Townsen is interviewed by

Melody Maker for their pop thinks column

and here are a couple of his hot takes

Keith Moon I've got all sorts of things

I want to say about Keith Moon he used

to be a lot of fun unfortunately he's

turning into a little old man it's a

shame he used to be young and unaffected

by pop music but now he's obsessed with

money I still like him and I don't

really care what he thinks to me he's

the only drummer in England I really

want to play with he's not interested in

jazz and won't ever be a jazz drummer

because he's more interested in looking

good and being screamed at Keith's age

so much pop art it's still my favorite

form of art my favorite artist are barry

Fenton and Peter Blake what I like most

of all is its English foreign pop art I

hate I don't think you can enjoy it

unless it's relevant to your own country

it has no relevance to the who except we

used its ideas I think we did did a lot

for it in this country if we hadn't done

it it might have taken another year to

catch on pop art encompasses

performances what are called happenings

and autod destructive performances

including smashing guitars kit Lambert

and I are on the same wavelength and I

used to go on about it to him I think

the rest of the group tend to

underestimate his ideas our

deterioration now is proving how wrong

they all were and we've gone back to our

manager on our hands and knees anyway I

used to talk to kid about po b a lot and

suddenly he came up with this idea he

told us Keith is going to have a

bullseye on his T-shirt Pete is going to

wear badges all these were his ideas at

the beginning it took a lot of guts to

wear

them building on the groundwork of 1965

with the British Invasion Bob Dylan's

genre defying bringing it all back home

and the Beatles Rubber Soul 1966

shattered conventions across the musical

Spectrum musicians abandoned the

predictable pop formula embracing Bolder

more experimental sounds that transform

popular music The Beach Boys say they

have evolved 800% beyond their 1965 hit

barbaran Brian Wilson elaborates for

myself I don't go out on the tours at

all now I just work on production I've

spent five months working on this new

album and I think this album and the

batch of new singles I've been working

on well it's like I'm right in the

golden eror of what it's all about it's

all just coming out like breathing now I

give it a lot of credit a lot of it for

everybody's success to The Beatles

they've had a tremendous Universal

influence that Rubber Soul album was a

great new contribution it helped them

Reach a new Plateau the birds well they

represent a certain projected attitude

they've got a place too no doubt of that

I give Phil Spectre credit for being the

single most influential producer he's

Timeless he makes a milestone when

[Music]

name MC Jagger gives an insightful

interview to Melody Maker And the

reporter is surprised by Jagger's

cheerfulness and sense of humor after

all the Jagger bashing that has taken

place Mick says of the 1966 music scene

let's start with England The Beatles I

think they are most creative songwriters

and performers not only do they create

material for themselves they practically

throw song ideas away for others maybe

they're not valid as the Yard Birds

would say but the way they use their

ideas is fantastic think of You've Got

to Hide Your Love Away and Michelle and

the way they threw them away on LPS

that's confidence something we have

always lacked I think the who are really

creative actually generation showed just

how fast things move there were lots of

delays and when they finally brought it

out it was a little bit P lyric wise

there's certainly no death of Pop ideas

but what I admire about the whole thing

is that ideas and influences are coming

from people who started out as amateurs

they've done the best they can and with

the talent they have and ended up being

recognized as the most talented and

year

era sound The Beach Boys unveiled their

seminal album Pet Sounds this Innovative

record featuring tracks like wouldn't it

be nice and God Only Knows showcase

complex arrangements and introspective

lyrics elevating pop music's artistic

[Music]

aspirations psychedelic influences

emerged signaling a shift toward

introspection and experimentation with

Studios becoming tools of innovation

albums showcase groundbreaking

production techniques while Soul music

achieved greater emotional depth than

cultural resonance unlike 1965's

emphasis on catchy hits 1966 was defined

by a Fearless challenge to musical Norms

setting the stage for the

countercultural revolution

[Music]

[Applause]

emerging the Rolling Stones made a

notable impact with the release of their

single Paint It Black the song's

distinctive use of the sitar played by

Brian Jones and its dark enigmatic

lyrics marked a departure from their

earlier work work reflecting the era's

experimentation with diverse musical

[Music]

influences The Beatles were in the midst

of recording sessions for their album

revolver in may they participated in

interviews for BBC Radio programs

discussing their evolving musical

Direction and upcoming projects how far

do you feel that your individual talents

are dependent upon each other I mean are

you sort of Gilbert and Sullivan or

Rogers and Hammerstein do you do you

need to work together as composers no

not really but it helps a lot just on

the old maximum of two mons or better

than one yeah you get another point of

view as well thing is because we we we

can do them on our own but often uh one

of us will just do a song and there'll

be say one verse in it that's very bad

or something and it's very corny or and

if if I've written it then I'll sort of

take it along and sing it to John and

he'll say that verse is terrible and

that verse is corny come in Mrs Higgins

you still get so involved with something

you finish it if you're on your own you

haven't got the energy to go over it and

of see you know if it really makes

exactly what you want so if you sing it

over to each other even if it's a

finished song you know with almost the

arrangement it's still sort of yes

that's that's fine your milk John thank

you Mrs thank you nice of you that Mrs

arriving with three glasses of milk it's

not even Mrs hiin either oh

[Applause]

[Music]

rber you see my electric guitar never

goes out of

tune the audience was hostile from the

get-go oh I love you

huh yeah so wonderful huh Bob Dylan's

1966 tour of England was a pivotal and

polarizing moment in music history

having left his folk Roots behind Dylan

emerged as a boundary pushing rock star

possessed by creativity a shift that

many of his earliest fans found

difficult to accept everybody knew that

they came to see the Bob Dylan that they

were

expecting rock and roll was something

that no one

expected night after night he faced

booze insults and even things being

thrown at them from audiences unwilling

to accept his departure from the leftist

folk

movement they had an attitude about

America already that we were a bunch of

fascist

warmongers they opened the second half

with the biggest American flag that Bob

could find in Paris and the audience

didn't get the joke at

all unfazed Dylan performed with the

largest American flag they could find as

his backdrop drawing strength from the

controversy far from deterring him the

hostility fueled his creative fire there

was a lot of

booing I mean it was practically

everywhere we went the audiences were

hostile and the band responded to the

hostility of the Audience by playing

more

[Music]

aggressively walk in the

room it all came to a head during his

performance at the Manchester free trade

Hall on May 17th

1966 as Dylan took the stage for the

second half of the show backed by the

electrified sound of the Hawks later

known as the band The Atmosphere group

increasingly charged folk purist in the

crowd wanted Dylan's acoustic set to

carry through the entire evening when he

plugged in his electric guitar and

launched into a blistering rendition of

tell me Mama the audience's disapproval

became evident scattered booze cheers

and heckles punctuated his performance a

stark contrast to the reverence he had

once commanded

[Music]

you walk into the

room with your pencil in your

hand you see somebody

naked that man the climactic moment came

when a disillusion fan yelled Judas from

the audience as Dylan appeared on stage

right straight from the

grave Dylan's response was as defiant as

it was legendary the moment encapsulated

Dylan's refusal to conform to

expectations solidifying his position as

an artist willing to push boundaries no

matter the cost

I don't believe

[Applause]

[Music]

[Applause]

you you're a

[Music]

liar the infamous tour is now celebrated

as a testament to Dylan's unwavering

commitment to authenticity

[Music]

the audience reaction that was

mystifying to everybody it was

mystifying to me I can remember like why

doesn't everybody think this stuff is as

great as I

do that

coner my mind

touring all over North

America all over

Australia all over

Europe and every night just about every

place we played people threw stuff at

us booed us and sometimes charge the

stage finally lots of people were

telling Bob you got to get rid of these

guys they're ruining the music get rid

of them we love you blah blah all this

stuff he never budged he never took a

step back so anyway on another night in

the tour we're listening to the show

back you know just trying to filter it

think also like how can everybody be so

against this how can that be and we were

listening to the

show and I said to the other other guys

in the Hawks and I said to Bob they're

wrong the world is wrong this is really

good and and and at this point things

turned and we started playing like in

your face we started playing louder

harder Bolder and and kind of just

preaching our sermon of music and people

were like what's wrong with these guys

why do they keep insisting on doing this

so there was this this back and forth

thing going

on and somewhere inside you have to

believe in what you're doing and we

actually thought what we were doing was

really good and that everybody was wrong

and in time the world came around and we

didn't change enough June 1966 was alive

with creativity and experimentation the

Rolling Stones released their album

aftermath solidifying their reputation

as rock provocators songs like pain it

black and under my thumb showcased the

band's darker more experimental side

with Brian Jones incorporating unique

instruments like the citar and marimba

the album reflected a growing maturity

in their songwriting tackling themes of

alienation power dynamics and societal

pressure The Kinks were making waves

with their hit single sunny afternoon a

tongue and cheek commentary on class and

Taxation which was released in June and

quickly became a summer

way which is the wrong way y y I wasn't

knocking it or putting it down I was

just saying it as a fact and it sort of

it is true espe more for England than

here you know I'm not saying that we're
