Sex, Drugs, and Rock 'n Roll: The American Counterculture of the
1960s offers a unique examination of the cultural flowering that
enveloped the United States during that early postwar decade.
Robert C. Cottrell provides an enthralling view of the
counterculture, beginning with an examination of American bohemia,
the Lyrical Left of the pre-WWII era, and the hipsters. He delves
into the Beats, before analyzing the counterculture that emerged on
both the East and West coasts, but soon cropped up in the American
heartland as well. Cottrell delivers something of a collective
biography, through an exploration of the antics of seminal
countercultural figures Allen Ginsberg, Jack Kerouac, Timothy
Leary, and Ken Kesey. Cottrell also presents fascinating chapters
covering "the magic elixir of sex," rock 'n roll, the underground
press, Haight-Ashbury, the literature that garnered the attention
of many in the counterculture, Monterey Pop, the Summer of Love,
the Death of Hippie, the March on the Pentagon, communes, Yippies,
Weatherman, Woodstock, the Manson family, the women's movement, and
the decade's legacies.
