| Abstract | Were the sixties merely the supreme subjective experience? Can we say if expectations were fulfilled, or denied? This history also provides the reflections of many major sixties' survivors. Here the musicians who made it happen tell how it happened. Includes Paul Simon, Tuli Kupferberg of the Fugs, John Sebastian of the Lovin' Spoonful, Roger McGuinn of the Byrds, and Peter Tork of the Monkees. |
