À propos de ce produit

Product Information

As a native Angeleno who was born in 1960 and came of age in the 1970s, the music produced by the artists who populate this book provided the soundtrack to my youth, so it is a subject matter that is close to my heart. But what really set the hook was discovering, early on in my research, that there were a number of aspects of the Laurel Canyon scene that didn't really seem to fit in with the prevailing image of a hippie utopia that was ostensibly all about peace and love. Having grown up right alongside this scene, I was shocked to learn that I didn't even know that it had existed at all! And after asking around, I discovered that no one else that I know in this city did either. After the passage of nearly 50 years, it seemed that this was a story that was long overdue for greater exposure. Even more overdue, it seemed to me, was an expose of some of the hidden truths of Laurel Canyon. Though a few books exploring the scene have popped up over the last several years, all of them have a certain sameness to them, with the same stories told in much the same way. I felt it was time to tell a different version of the story -- the one that can be found hiding in the details that are usually left out or glossed over.

Avis les plus pertinents

  • Compelling arguments. More research is needed.

    It's hard not to walk away from this book thinking the author might be on to something. Everyone who grew up during the '50s had family members who served in the military during WW2. What's highly unusual are all the connections to high ranking officials and military intelligence. The Admiral Morrison/Jim Morrison connection by itself should raise some eyebrows. There are all sorts of anecdotes and asides I've read over the years that make sense by viewing Jim as an agent. He used to tell drinking buddy Gene Vincent: "What's it like being a real rock n roll star?" As if to convey that he was a fraud. I also recall a story from Densmore's book where Jim mysteriously got out of the draft and wouldn't say how he did it! The guy was an enigma for sure. But if Morrison was some sort of lifetime ...

  • Interesting. Strange. Convoluted.

    Interesting book. A lot of information... if only half were accurate, the amount of research the author did is truly amazing. That said, the author is a conspiracy hound, and many of the conclusions he draws stray from the straight and narrow. For example, many of the artists and musicians come from military families. Is this surprising? America had just done with the greatest expansion of the Armed Forces ever- WWII, Korea and Vietnam. I expect that there are no more, or less descendents of Military families in Laurel Canyon than in Burbank, or Anaheim. Still interesting... but you'd need to put up pictures in your garage and invest in a lot of colored yarn to make sense of all the connections.

  • Weird scenes is right!

    Warning, you won't look at these musical 'heroes' or quite a number of the 'Peace and Brotherhood' crowd either in the same light ever again! Very well researched, discusses angles, relationships and events which have been wallpapered over for way too many years - I knew some of the players had tarnished lives, did not realize the extent. Wowzers. Fascinating read! RIP Dave....

  • Best read of the "new" millenium

    Time well spent and best if you read it aloud. An alternative anti war history of the world's "greatest" empire at he height of her power. As a draft-age-kid I shuddered and weaved my way through these dark sci-fi drug induced times and met many of these potent power players in person in SF & LA. The author is keen eyed and his insights are spot on providing a whole new overview of my very personal experiences- A dark and true reliving of that time fifty years ago when we rose up to kill the occult beasts and were mostly suppressed by the moneyed few.

  • A compelling read. Approach with an open mind.

    Not a dull moment in this book. The author painstakingly researched this and has presented the facts, without telling you what conclusions to draw. If you're interested in the music of the 1960's and 1970's and the people who made it, if you want to understand the culture that produced Charles Manson, if you're prepared to rethink much of what you thought you knew about that time period in the U.S. read this book.
