Danny Goldberg (Icon Books Ltd)
Ronald Regan once said: “A hippie is someone who looks like Tarzan, walks like Jane and smells like Cheetah.” But there was so much more to the hippie movement than that. Indeed, some of the most influential people today draw direct influence from it. People such as Steve Jobs, Oprah Winfrey, Mark Zuckerberg and Bernie Sanders all have roots that go back to 1967’s hippie leaders.
With some great titbits provided by the likes of his good friend, the late great Allen Ginsberg, Wavy Gravy and Grace Slick of Jefferson Airplane amongst others, Danny Goldberg has created a detailed insight into an important snapshot of our history whilst also banishing the popular cliché of the hippie movement. In the current political climate, In Search Of The Lost Chord is also a timely reminder that people power does indeed have an effect and that change is always possible.
