Hey guys! I'm learning to use Illustrator and made this 2024 calendar for International Times Magazine, as a recreation/homage to the 1969 calendar from Issue 46, Volume 1 (1968) and it was published on their website!
Tumblr media
International Times was an underground counter-culture publication that ran from 1966 to 1973 (with a few more issues being published between 1977 and 1994). It covered alternative culture and politics, being a part of the underground press movement that opened the door to the cultural revolution the decade is known for. Pink Floyd and Soft Machine performed in it's launch event at The Roundhouse, and the 14 Hour Technicolor Dream event (Alexandra Palace, 1967) was a fund-raiser for the publication! They were also funded by Paul McCartney (which i find amazing!).

LECTURE 18: COMING APART (PART 1): Dig this flashy, hypnotic music video for the song “Street Fighting Man” by the Rolling Stones! The song, released around the same time as the Beatles’ hit “Revolution,” was co-written by Stones frontman Mick Jagger and the band’s lead guitarist, Keith Richards. Jagger wrote the lyrics after attending an anti-Vietnam War demonstration involving around 25,000 protesters at the U.S. Embassy in London in early 1968. Mounted police disrupted the huge gathering by charging into the crowd, resulting in chaos and violence. At one point during the protest, a large group of people mobbed Jagger, begging for his autograph. Jagger realized that he was more of a distraction than an asset at the event, which made reluctant to attend any more antiwar protests. The song begins hopefully with Jagger singing, “the time is right for fighting in the street,” but it takes a more despairing turn when he laments, “But what can a poor boy do, 'cept sing in a rock and roll band.” Interestingly, the media and antiwar activists alike turned the song into a protest anthem, and there were heated debates in the radical underground press about which song was more revolutionary: the Stones’ “Street Fighting Man” or the Beatles’ “Revolution.” A lot of militant New Left insurgents preferred “Street Fighting Man,” which they regarded as a song celebrating clashes between the police and street demonstrators. Many of these youthful radicals seemed to ignore the lyrics about Jagger expressing his unhappiness about not going to any more antiwar demonstrations. As for the Beatles, the more violence-prone radicals attacked “Revolution” as a reactionary, counterrevolutionary song, while some antiwar pacifists regarded it as a sympathetic warning to activists to avoid the fruitless trap of violence. Once more, the Stones and the Beatles were pitted against each other by opposing camps of fans.
