Barry Oreck Challenges His Generation To Step Up Again; New Video Starts A New “Artivist” Chapter For Singer-Songwriter
Singer-songwriter Barry Oreck has released a new live performance video of his original work, A 60s Hippie’s Psychedelic Nightmare. The song, released during the COVID-19 pandemic on the album We Fit Together, was presented by Oreck and his stellar, Brooklyn-based band this past August at New York State’s Adirondack Lakes Center for the Arts. The video is accessible on the ARTIVISTUS YouTube channel.
A 60s Hippie’s Psychedelic Nightmare is a call-to-action for members of an activist generation who have retreated into self-involved comfort and compliance.
”Where are you now, my radical long-haired sister and brother?
Did we use up the fire, lose the desire to stand up for one another?”
“After the election of 2016. I felt angry and disappointed with myself and my generation that had been radicalized and activated in the 60s and 70s,” said Barry, reflecting on the origins of the song. “‘Where are we now?’ the song asks, when we need to speak out and stand up against the undoing of so much we thought we had accomplished back then. Can the generation brought up on protest, collective action, and the possibility of change re-emerge in response to the current threats to our democracy? I hope this moment can be an inspiration, a turning point, to re-engage in social action and the political process.”
