Music History Presentation: James Pagliasotti, first rock ‘n’ roll columnist for the Denver Post, where he covered music and counterculture from 1968 to 1974, will present “Growing Up When the Music Mattered,” from 4 to 5:30 p.m. Thursday, Dec. 15, at the Eagle Point library, 239 W. Main St. The classic era of rock ‘n’ roll music was a time of incredible creativity in the arts and in artful ways of living. It was also a tumultuous time, when struggles over civil rights, the Vietnam War, political assassinations, and gender equity sometimes made it seem the world was coming apart. Pagliasotti, who covered counterculture and music with press credentials and a backstage pass, will discuss this era in music and how it developed its own culture.
