"Eat a Peach" is a double album The Allman Brothers Band, released on February 12, 1972. It reached #4 on the Billboard 200 Top LP's chart, bolstered by three singles that hit the Billboard Hot 100 - "Ain't Wastin' Time No More", "Melissa" and "One Way Out".
This album came close on the heels of their breakthrough At Fillmore East (1971) set and featured live tracks that did not make it onto that album, including boogie classic "One Way Out" and two entire album sides devoted to "Mountain Jam", a 33-minute improvisation based around Donovan's song "There Is a Mountain." The remainder of the album was recorded in-studio and served to cement the band's reputation as innovative Southern rockers. Several tracks featured a new emphasis on more-lyrical acoustic work, notably on "Melissa" and the guitar classic "Little Martha." The lilting "Blue Sky" became an album-oriented rock radio staple, while "Ain't Wastin' Time No More" served as both a quiet generational anthem and a personal statement of purpose by the band in the face of Duane's death. The widespread story regarding the origin of the album's title, that the truck involved in Duane's fatal motorcycle accident was a peach truck, is not correct; the truck involved was a flatbed lumber truck. Rather the album name came from something Duane said in an interview shortly before he was killed. When asked what he was doing to help the revolution, Duane replied, "There ain't no revolution, its evolution, but every time I'm in Georgia I eat a peach for peace." The album's name was originally slated to be The Kind We Grow in Dixie and the artwork for the album showed a peach. Band members were dissatisfied with the name and the image suggested Duane's quote instead.

No alt-text, but it’s an ad for a 1972 Ike & Tina show at Little Rock.

Brooke Rollins was born in 1972, making her a Gen X’er, though not an Elder, we were born in the late 60’s. So we went to school in the same era. And I’ve no clue what she’s talking about. I worked the cafeteria for two years (it got you free lunch!)

Not to be a buzz kill, but I was listening to Class Clown back in 1972. As a matter of fact I got the album at Tower Records as soon as I could.
Words don't offend me. Actions do.
So as we used to say back in my day, "Keep on Truckin!"

Protest Surrounding the Construction of Narita Airport https://www.artic.edu/artworks/208956/
Protests saturated postwar Japan’s political landscape. In 1960 public demonstrations were sparked by the ratification of a lopsided security treaty between Japan and the United States, which was escalating involvement in Vietnam. Large-scale protests were also mounted against the construction of Narita Airport, led by leftists who opposed the airport out of antimilitarist, anti-American sentiments, as well as farmers whose land would be seized in order to make room for the massive facility. While the airport was completed in 1972, it only opened in 1978 after the government finally quelled the dogged resisters. This picture is one of a group of 500 made anonymously by one or more protesters against the airport, and purchased by the Art Institute in 2010. Photography Gala Fund

February's theme: Olympics Posters
1972 SAPPORO GAMES. Designer: Takashi Kono (1906 – 1999).
Kono’s winning design for the official poster of the Sapporo Games reflects his embrace of uncluttered, clean design.
#arthistory #art #OlympicGames #GraphicArts
Kono has incorporated the official emblem, designed by Kazumasa Nagai, which shows the red rising sun (symbol of Japan), a stylized snowflake (for the winter games), the Olympic rings and the text Sapporo ’72. Below this emblem, Kono has placed a snow-covered mountain and an ice rink – two items that commemorate the snow and ice events of the games. An aesthetically pleasing design simplicity, using natural forms, was central to Kono’s creative output, which spanned posters, advertisements, costume and set design. Sapporo1972 trivia: Yukio Kasaya earned Japan’s first ever Olympic gold medal, winning the ski jump (normal hill) event; American skier Barbara Cochran (one of three Cochran siblings on the US Olympic ski team that year) won gold in the slalom (her son, Ryan Cochran-Siegle, competed this year in Milano-Cortina in the downhill); these were the last Winter Games when a skier won a gold medal using all-wooden skis.

Suicide Notes https://www.wikiart.org/en/brice-marden/suicide-notes-1972
This artwork, titled "Suicide Notes" from Brice Marden's collection, showcases a composition of intersecting lines creating dense, layered textures within a rectangular form. Marden's minimalist approach is evident in the stark contrast and expressive use of monochrome, reflecting his interest in abstraction and subtle emotional expression.

US Navy SEALS live and train off the coast of San Diego, where up to 55,000 barrels of DDT sludge were dumped right off the coast by Industry back between the 1940's to 1972. They swim in it everyday, and the local, state and federal governments all know what's out there and won't do a thing.
