The Closer's Song

By: Christopher Cole

An excellent read, especially for those who grew up in the 60s/70s. This book takes you through a ride of life (and it does get bumpy at times) in search of the answer to "What Does It All Mean?"

THE PIED PIPER OF WOODSTOCK

By: ARTIE KORNFELD

Forty years ago, amidst the decadence and destruction of a nation at war, civil unrest, and political dissention, the most sensational and romanticized event known to mankind was orchestrated by Artie Kornfeld and his partners in Woodstock Ventures. This is the life of a New York archetypal bad boy -- a believer who saw music as the universal solvent for global rapport and acceptance and used his ability to unite the masses.

"LIGHT"

The Psychedelic Woodstock Bus

Dr. Bob Hieronimus PhD: "I painted the “Light” bus that went to Woodstock without me.

"It is not just another hippie bus, but a work of art in its own right which captures the mood and aspirations of a generation searching for its own identity and place in the universal scheme of things"

Bethel's "other" Woodstock Museum. Home to the famous "Woodstock Exposition" road sign.

A wonderful place to visit.

WOODSTOCK in the quiet morning

By: Ian Margieson

There are some people you remember for the rest of your life and there are those who change the rest of your life.

THE GIANT'S CHAIR

By: Mark A. Catone

For anyone yearning to return to the time when the Beatles walked the earth and folks had a temporary social consciousness, this is a good perspective of the sixties experience. Lots of memories evoked.

A worthwhile read which provides an inner view into the mindset of one unique generation.

JIMI HENDRIX TURNS EIGHTY

By: Tim Sandlin

Something had to happen to all those aging hippies. What were we thinking?

If your book were set outside San Francisco in 2022, and if Jimi Hendrix were still alive and rocking, it would be his 80th birthday, and the free-loving, loose-living revolutionaries of the 1960s would all be eligible for institutional assisted living. If they never got over their own Summer of Love, and you gathered them all in one place, you might have a hilarious and poignant novel such as "Jimi Hendrix Turns Eighty" by Tim Sandlin.
