Description
Danny Goldberg's In Search of the Lost Chord is a subjective history of 1967, a pivotal year that saw the release of groundbreaking music, the rise of counterculture, and the tumultuous politics of the time. The year was marked by the Beatles' Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, debut albums from the Doors, Jimi Hendrix, and Janis Joplin, as well as the Summer of Love and the anti-war movement. This book is a mosaic of seminal moments in the psychedelic, spiritual, rock-and-roll, and political protest cultures of 1967, drawn from extensive research and interviews with key figures of the era. Goldberg's account is informed by conversations with Allen Ginsberg, Timothy Leary, Ram Dass, Tom Hayden, Cora Weiss, and Grace Slick, offering a unique perspective on the events and ideas that shaped this pivotal year. Through In Search of the Lost Chord, Goldberg explores the intersection of art, music, and politics in 1967, a year that continues to fascinate and inspire new generations of readers.
