San Francisco and the long 60s /

Hill, Sarah, 1966-

San Francisco and the long 60s / Sarah Hill. - 272 pages : illustrations (black and white)

Includes bibliographical references and index.

Highlighting the story of the legacy of popular music in San Francisco between the years 1965-69, this book is also a chronicle of the impact this brief cultural flowering has continued to have in the city - and more widely in American culture - right up to the present day. The book questions the standard historical narrative of the time, situating the local popular music of the 1960s in the city's contemporary artistic and literary cultures: at once visionary and hallucinatory, experimental and traditional, singular and universal.
