The Republic of Rock uncovers the lost story of rock music and
citizenship in the sixties counterculture. Tracing the way people
in two key places-San Francisco and Vietnam-used rock to make sense
of their lives and the world around them, the book helps us to
understand more vividly how rock became a medium for participants
in the counterculture to think about what it meant to be an
American citizen, a world citizen, a citizen-consumer, or a
citizen-soldier. The music became a resource for grappling with the
nature of democracy in larger systems of American power both
domestically and globally. From the Acid Tests of Ken Kesey and the
Merry Pranksters to hippie disc jockeys on strike, from the
airwaves of Vietnam to the forgotten tale of a South Vietnamese
rock band, The Republic of Rock shows how the musical connections
between the City of the Summer of Love to the country in which the
United States waged war were crucial to the making of the sixties
counterculture-and why the legacy of rock music in the sixties
continues to matter to the meaning of citizenship in a global
society today.
