Happy Saturday! I hope you've arrived at your weekend in good spirits and ready to make the most of some free time! For too many of us, weekends are the best and most practical opportunity to rest, relax, loosen up, and really spend time in a different space than the work week requires.

And that space can be literal, as in a weekend getaway, or figurative, as in a new state of mind. If you're in need of a change of vibe, maybe all you need is a good dose of peace, love, and some classic folk-y rock! No need to turn on or drop out, but go ahead and tune in to these sounds of the 1960s to soothe your spirits:

I Saw Her Again - The Mamas and the Papas

Turn! Turn! Turn! The Byrds

The 59th Street Bridge Song (Feelin' Groovy) - Simon and Garfunkel

Maxwell's Silver Hammer - The Beatles

There Is a Mountain - Donovan

If I Had a Hammer - Peter, Paul, and Mary

Somebody to Love - Jefferson Airplane

Suite: Judy Blue Eyes - Crosby, Stills, & Nash

Up Around the Bend, Creedence Clearwater Revival

Soolaimon - Neil Diamon

Thanks for letting me be your guest DJ this morning! What are the catchiest songs of the era that I left out? Let me know in the comments!

Thank you for reading God of the Desert Books. This post is public, so feel free to share it.

MG loves to sing "If I had a Hammer" to me because she knows I dislike it! (That makes it special to me in an odd way.)

Why Far Right Men Love Laura Loomer
It is so simple and the entire conservative media project collapses when we acknowledge this fundamental reality.

Russia Is a Suicidal Slave State with a Terrible Culture
Putin is only a symptom. The moral values of the nation are the disease.
