Description

Songwriters of the 70s were inspired to write not just about the environment, but the places that inspired them. The first Earth Day was on April 22, 1970. In honor of the 50th anniversary of Earth Day, this episode looks at how the world around them served as motivation for songs from artists and bands such as Marvin Gaye, Joni Mitchell, John Denver, The Eagles, and yes, even The Clash.
