Music of 1968-- Part 2: Beatles, Jimi, Janis, CSNY

"The Beatles, in spite of personal resentments and professional differences, followed "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band" with an LP that since has been embraced as even more iconic:  "The Beatles, a.k.a. the White Album.

"While Jimi Hendrix was torching guitars and putting the polishing touches on "Electric Ladyland, Janis Joplin was shedding Big Brother and the Holding Company and starting a band of her own.

""Out in Los Angeles's Laurel Canyon, Joni Mitchell's boyfriend casually walked into an impromptu jam session.  There he found two other like-minded musicians -- an encounter that led to Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young, probably the most famous supergroup ever.

"The lyrics these bands and solo artists produced were much more than an echo of the nightly news.  They comprised a story unto itself."
