Description
In Search of the Lost Chord: 1967 and the Hippie Idea The summer of 1967 was a pivotal moment in history, marked by the release of iconic albums such as Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band and debut records from Jimi Hendrix and Janis Joplin. This book provides a unique perspective on that era, exploring the political, spiritual, musical and psychedelic movements that defined it. Through exhaustive research and interviews with key figures, including Allen Ginsberg, Timothy Leary and Gil Scott-Heron, Danny Goldberg examines how these forces intertwined to shape the counterculture of the time. The result is a fascinating synthesis of a complex period in social and cultural history. This book offers a fresh look at 1967, one that goes beyond the familiar narrative of sex, drugs and rock n roll to reveal a more nuanced understanding of an era that continues to influence our world today.
