Say YaY for Monterey 😍 The iconic event was full of notable performances by Canned Heat, Laura Nyro, Jefferson Airplane, Booker T. & the M.G.’s, and the Grateful Dead. Monterey’s multi-genre bill offered the best of what the 1960s had to offer: sentimental folk, experimental psychedelia, and straightforward rock ‘n’ roll. In addition to the music, the festival’s social attitude, artistic style, and general “vibe” helped define the ethos of the Summer of Love. West Coast was a musical mecca, and the Monterey Pop Festival was the world’s journey to this central point.

Roughly 200,000 people attended the Monterey International Pop Festival. Compared to Woodstock’s approximately 400,000, the 1967 festival seemed somewhat small. But at the time, it was one of the largest and most significant musical events the U.S. had ever seen. Fortunately for many of the artists involved, this impressive accolade meant that their inclusion on the lineup caused their careers to skyrocket practically overnight.

THE SPAN OF LIFE

The Span Of Life
The old dog barks backwards without getting up.
I can remember when he was a pup.

This poem portrays the fleeting nature of time and the progression of life. The elderly dog's backward barks symbolize his lived experiences and the past receding into memory.

The author observes the dog's present condition, contrasting it with his youthful vigor. This juxtaposition evokes a sense of nostalgia and reflection on the passing of time.

The poem stands out from Frost's other works, which often delve into complex themes of nature, isolation, and mortality. However, it shares his characteristic minimalist style and use of everyday imagery to explore profound truths.

In the context of its time period, the poem reflects the growing awareness of the transience of life during the early 20th century. The First World War had left a significant impact, instilling a sense of loss and uncertainty.

Through its simple yet evocative language, "The Span of Life" captures the universal experience of witnessing the passage of time and the wistful longing for the past.
