Synopsis :

This work focuses not on the stars who produced the music of the 60s, but on those who sat in their dorm rooms and group houses, smoked dope and played albums. Bromell shows how millions of listeners mixed rock and psychedelics in a quest to make sense of themselves and their times.

Présentation de l'éditeur: Tomorrow Never Knows takes us back to the primal scene of the 1960s and asks: what happened when young people got high and listened to rock as if it really mattered—as if it offered meaning and sustenance, not just escape and entertainment? What did young people hear in the music of Dylan, Hendrix, or the Beatles? Bromell's pursuit of these questions radically revises our understanding of rock, psychedelics, and their relation to the politics of the 60s, exploring the period's controversial legacy, and the reasons why being "experienced" has been an essential part of American youth culture to the present day.
