this podcast is going to be all about 60's music. the goal with this podcast is to educate a younger generation on one of the greatest decades of music of all time, and to prove to people that Millennials can love 60's music as well and it's not just for Baby boomers. Each week I"m going to review one song by one artist from the 60's and split the podcast into two halfs. first half is going to be my perspective and my opinion on the song and why I think it's so good or why I don't think it's ...

Synopsis
Looking back on a famous person’s life and career, one often notes quirky patterns of coincidences. Take American composer and conductor Leonard Bernstein, for example.
On today’s date in 1943, Bernstein was one day short of his 25th birthday, and, at the Public Library in Lenox, Massachusetts, accompanied the singer Jennie Tourel in the premiere of a new song cycle for which Bernstein had composed both the words and the music. The song cycle, I Hate Music!, offered — from a child’s perspective — some devastatingly direct observations on art and life.
The following day, the New York Philharmonic’s music director, Artur Rodzinski, invited Bernstein to become Assistant Conductor of the orchestra.
Now, fast forward to November 13 that same year: Jennie Tourel and Bernstein were at Town Hall, giving the New York premiere of I Hate Music!. The very next day, Bernstein was asked to step in at short notice for the indisposed Bruno Walter, making his New York Philharmonic debut conducting the orchestra during their live national Sunday afternoon radio broadcast from Carnegie Hall.
Bernstein’s surprise — and successful — conducting debut made the front page of the New York Times, and a legendary career was launched.
