Summer of Love: Ths Inside Story of LSD, Rock & Roll, Free Love and High Time in the Wild West Paperback - 1999

by Joel Selvin


From the publisher

In the late 1060s and early 1970s, the West Coast, particularly San Francisco, was the epicenter of rock music. Culled from more than 200 interviews with all the major players, including Jerry Garcia, Grace Slick, David Crosby, and Steve Miller, Summer of Love is the definitive book about the Psychedelic Era. Selvin provides an uncensored look at the acid-laced jam sessions, bacchanal parties, crimes of passion, run-ins with ruthless promoters and lawmen, overdoses, rivalries, deaths, and, of course, the music. Filled with never-before-told stories of The Grateful Dead, Jefferson Airplane, Santana, Janis Joplin, Country Joe and the Fish, Creedance Clearwater Revival, and non-musicians like Bill Graham and Ken Kesey, this book presents an unforgettable, kaleidoscopic portrait of a crucial era in American music.

Description:
New York: Cooper Square Press, 1999. 376 pages, [8] pages of plates, illustrations, portraits; 23 cm. Firm binding, clean inside copy. Light edgewear, age toning. "Sex, Drugs, and Rock & Roll"--That was the rallying cry for a movement that changed American culture forever. In the late 1960s and early 1970s, the West Coast was the epicenter of rock music. From this untamed tumult, the Grateful Dead, Jefferson Airplane, Janis Joplin, Creedence Clearwater Revival, and many others rocketed to national fame. But the media's version of the "summer of love" era only scratched the surface of the true story - which has never been told until now. Joel Selvin, who has been the pop music critic for the San Francisco Chronicle since those heady days, has woven a fascinating and sometimes lurid narrative history of the highest times of the rock era, separating surprising fact from entrenched mythology. Drawing on interviews with all the major players, including Jerry Garcia, Grace Slick,… Read More
