It was a cry for freedom—a utopian vision of a world beyond the constraints of the old establishment.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c!--{cke_protected}{C}%3C!%2D%2D%20x-tinymce%2Fhtml%20%2D%2D%3E--\u003eNeil Young's classic 1974 album On The Beach was in many ways a commentary on the events of 1968 and the two years that followed.
