(Book). A fast-paced, fun, and sometimes brutal look at America's
most volatile and creative year in music 1969: a time of euphoria
and devastation, freedom and assassination, revolution and
retribution, moonwalks and sit-ins, love-ins and race riots, sex,
drugs, and guns. Idyllic college campuses became killing fields and
inner cities went up in flames as the drumbeat of popular music
tried to drown out the drums of war. 1969 was birthed through the
visions and violence of 1968. By the Time We Got to Woodstock
breathlessly documents a year that saw more music-as-manifesto and
rock-as-revolution than ever before. At one mad outdoor party after
another from Miami to Denver, and from Woodstock to Altamont cracks
in the promised hippie utopia quickly turned to canyons. This was
the year that saw the Beatles go supernova while Bob Dylan
hightailed it to Nashville. From the Byrds, Joan Baez, Jimi
Hendrix, the Airplane, and Janis Joplin to the Velvet Underground,
the Mothers of Invention, Funkadelic, and the Fugs, 1969 stands up
as a decade-smashing anomaly in the annals of rock'n'roll captured
gloriously in this blistering book.
