Art imitates life warhol marilyn and a whiter shade of pale
Art imitates life. Whenever life changes art adapts to the changes and is reflective of its origin in time. We learned this when we discussed Freud, Einstein and Nicci coming onto the scene. As they introduced new theories and new ideas we were introduced to new art forms like Dadaism and Surrealism. In 1967 America was going through some changes. Baby Boomers are turning into hippies and everyone is heading out to San Francisco because it's the place to be. College enrollments have doubled since 1960 So it's clear this genration wants higher learning. Films like The Graduate express this generations' uneasiness with the idea of growing up and accepting responsibility.Television devotes more broadcast time to the Vietnam war and this generation is divided between those who support the war and those who oppose it.

Procol Harum are most famous for their classic "A Whiter Shade of Pale", a huge hit in 1967, though in the 80's, a whole new audience heard it on the soundtrack to "The Big Chill". " There have been a number of personnel changes over Procol Harum's history. Procol Harum were able to make basic rock sound orchestral, and were also able to make orchestras work in a rock context. In the end, though, perhaps what truly defines Procol Harum is the songwriting of Brooker and Reid, and Brooker's arrangements. They excel at being able to meld traditional rock styles with more classical stylings, leading to a very diverse and expansive sound. One of those hidden meanings will link Procol Harem and Andy Warhol. Every member of the band has a distinctive style in addition to prodigious talent. Procol Harum was a British band, who reached its peak in popularity in the late 60's and early 70's. The name apparently cannot be translated, although it is Latin in origin. He was rushed to hospital where he was pronounced dead, but after having his chest cut up and been given heart massage, he survived. His playing is equally inspired in both his rhythm work and his lead.
