Woven of flashbacks by musicians, artists, authors, radicals and folks who “were there” in the '60s, this book by author Alan Bisbort (The White Rabbit and Other Delights) and Rolling Stone staffer Parke Puterbaugh travels through: San Francisco's rock revolution, with bands like the Jefferson Airplane and the Grateful Dead; the British underground scene, with Pink Floyd and Cream; the phenomenon of The Beatles' “Sgt. Pepper”; the dawn of psychedelia in Los Angeles, with the Doors and Frank Zappa; and rock's festival years, from Monterey to the Isle of Wight. It also explores psychedelic literature, journalism, posters, films, fashion, lingo and more, plus the impact of politics and the rebuff of radicals such as Abbie Hoffman, Timothy Leary and Allen Ginsberg. In full color throughout, the book features lots of photos, a helpful index, and a foreword by Howard Kaylan of The Turtles.

"It was the era of Warhol and Ed Sullivan, of Day-Glo VW buses...I faked my way out of my draft board physical and yet had the nerve to perform at the White House. We marched at Chicago and got shot at Kent State...we were at the dawning of the Age of Aquarius and on the Eve of Destruction.... Sure, we were ‘psychedelicized.’ The curtains moved and the colors all ran together, but in the words of Hunter Thompson, we trod heavily on the planet and left footprints that will last forever in the sands of time. Anybody got a light?"
—from the foreword by Howard Kaylan of The Turtles This book is published in cooperation with Rhino Records.
Alan Bisbort, author of The White Rabbit and Other Delights, began writing about music and countercultural matters in 1972. Parke Puterbaugh has been writing about popular music since the late 1970s, when he joined the staff of Rolling Stone.
