'A history that makes perfect sense when the sky is falling down.' -
The Sunday Times
The Sixties, for many, was a time of new ideas, freedom, and renewed
hope – from the civil rights movement to Woodstock. But towards the end
of 1969 and the start of the 1970s, everything seemed to implode. The
Manson murders, the tragic events of the Rolling Stones concert at
Altamont and the appearance of the Zodiac Killer all called a halt to
the progress of a glorious decade. At the end of the Sixties, the
hippie dream died – or so the story goes.
In The Bad Trip, James Riley descends into the underworld of the
Sixties to reveal the dark side of the counterculture. He explores the
seam of apocalyptic thinking that had lain hidden beneath the decade’s
psychedelic utopianism all along. Moving between Britain and America,
this is a magical mystery tour that shows just how different our
concept of ‘the Sixties’ is from the reality of the period.
A brilliant and trenchant cultural history published 50 years after the
action – drawing on interviews with key figures from the music, art,
and film scenes of the late 1960s and early 1970s in the US and UK.
