Hippie

Barry Miles`s ultra-hip 1960s credentials include friendships with such iconic movers and shakers as Paul McCartney, William Burroughs, and Allen Ginsberg (he has previously published books on all three), as well as co-ownership of London`s then-countercultural center the Indica Gallery. With HIPPIE, a wide-ranging survey of one of the most artistically and socially tumultuous decades of the 20th century, Miles has transformed his unique vantage point into a luxuriously illustrated coffee table-style book. HIPPIE is packed with over 600 fascinating contemporary color and black-and-white photographs of musical and cultural underground landmarks of the period, among them San Francisco`s Haight-Ashbury, Jimi Hendrix at Woodstock, and the Merry Pranksters` customized bus, Further. It also comprehensively catalogues the worldwide political and cultural upheavals of the time, like the British Mods and Rockers, the Paris student action of 1968, and the radical American Yippie movement. Weaving a tapestry of quotations, recollections, and commentary from some of the 1960s` most significant figures--including Yippie leader Abbie Hoffman, Beatle George Harrison, and prophet of LSD Dr. Timothy Leary--Miles conjures the spirit and motivation of the Sixties, conveying in his celebratory story a sense of both immediacy and eulogy.
