Goodbye, Dr. John (Malcolm „Mac“ John Rebennack Jr., November 20, 1941 – June 6, 2019)!
Roky Erickson (July 15, 1947 – May 31, 2019) will be missed.
Before western 80s pop culture went back into full hippie mode with the rave movement, it presented itself mostly decidedly anti-hippie: cold electric or neon lights, urban and nervous, glamorous and vein. Still a lot of visual language of psychedelic culture found its way into the music videos of the time. It’s rather interesting to see how it got transformed.
