There is a direct line from many of the events, movements, and people of 1967 to our times. Goldberg draws the line for us with mesmerizing storytelling, characters, and conversations." -- Katrina vanden Heuvel, The Nation
"Danny Goldberg is probably one of the purest, most reasonable guides you could ask for to 1967." -- Andrew Loog Oldham, author of Rolling Stoned
"Hippie 101--a kaleidoscopic snapshot of the Big Bang fifty years ago, three parts social and musical history, one part personal memoir, a sweeping overview that also manages to be up close and personal. Bravo." -- Joel Selvin, author of Altamont: The Rolling Stones, the Hells Angels, and the Inside Story of Rock's Darkest Day
Praise for Dispatches from the Culture Wars: How the Left Lost Teen Spirit
"Years from now, if the Democrats have long faded from American memory, anthropologists and historians will ask, Didn't any of them read this book by Danny Goldberg?" -- Michael Moore
Praise for Bumping into Geniuses
"Goldberg believes in the transcendental power and beauty of rock and roll and at the same time has a unique perspective on the business which has presented and preserved it." -- Patti Smith
The 1967 'Summer of Love' - set against the backdrop of increased racial tension, the Vietnam War, a burgeoning drug culture, and an exploding new music scene - propelled the counterculture philosophy of peace and love into the mainstream. Although this sudden surge of unironic idealism vanished as quickly as it had appeared, the cultural effects of 1967 can still be felt today.
Danny Goldberg, who graduated high school in 1967, has had a front-row seat to witness the lasting cultural impact of this brief moment. Now, a half century after the events of 1967, Goldberg reexamines this pivotal year, stripping away the reductive cliches that obscure the radical idealism of countercultural movements. Goldberg uncovers the humble roots of contemporary activism, arguing that a few dozen extremely fallible artists, dreamers, and activists fostered its initial development. Looking back at this time in American history, he explores how and why the legacy of 1967 lives on today through movements like Black Lives Matter, Occupy Wall Street, and the political revolution espoused by the like of Bernie Sanders.
Goldberg's firsthand accounts and extensive research are supported by brand-new interviews from those who had a hand in bringing this culture to light, including figures such as Grace Slick, Rosanna Arquette, Joe Boyd, Robbie Conal, Peter Coyote, Sara Davidson, Pamela Des Barres, Steve Earle, Jodie Evans, Jim Fouratt, Todd Gitlin, Nigel Grainge, Tom Hayden, Paul Krassner, Elliot Mintz, Mtume, Ram Dass, and more.
