Taking this challenge seriously, recovering the mood of an extended moment, requires beginning earlier and ending later than 1968. Cultural upheaval cannot be confined by the calendar. At least one contribution to the literature, the music industry executive Danny Goldberg’s \u003ci\u003eIn Search of the Lost Chord\u003c\/i\u003e, treats 1967 as the defining moment when ‘the hippie idea’ still held transformational promise, and countercultural protest had not yet succumbed to police violence, undercover provocateurs, or media caricature—while 1968, in contrast, was a dark time of assassinations, riots, and the resurgence of the right.” —\u003ci\u003eNew York Review of Books\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e“[Goldberg’s] newest book, \u003ci\u003eIn Search of the Lost Chord: 1967 and the Hippie Idea\u003c\/i\u003e, explores and fuses together the musical, political, and spiritual revolutions of the time into a narrative about a moment when ‘there was an instant sense of tribal intimacy one could have even with a stranger.'” \u003ci\u003e—Rolling Stone\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eSearch of the Lost Chord\u003c\/i\u003e is a subjective history of 1967, the year Danny Goldberg graduated from high school. It is also a refreshing and new analysis of the era; by looking at not only the political causes, but also the spiritual, musical, and psychedelic movements, Goldberg provides a unique perspective on how and why the legacy of 1967 lives on today.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n1967 was the year of the release of the Beatles’ \u003ci\u003eSgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band\u003c\/i\u003e, and of debut albums from the Doors, the Grateful Dead, Jimi Hendrix, and Janis Joplin, among many others. 1967 was also the year of the Summer of Love; the year that millions of now-illegal LSD tabs flooded America; Muhammad Ali was convicted of avoiding the draft; Martin Luther King Jr. publicly opposed the war in Vietnam; Stokely Carmichael championed Black Power; Israel won the Six-Day War; and Che Guevara was murdered. It was the year that hundreds of thousands of protesters vainly attempted to levitate the Pentagon. It was the year the word “hippie” peaked and died, and the Yippies were born.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nExhaustively researched and informed by interviews and conversations with Allen Ginsberg, Timothy Leary, Ram Dass, Tom Hayden, Cora Weiss, Grace Slick, and others, \u003ci\u003eIn Search of the Lost Chord\u003c\/i\u003e is a mosaic of seminal moments in the psychedelic, spiritual, rock-and-roll, and political protest cultures of 1967.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThis paperback edition includes a brand-new afterword by the author, along with twenty photographs by Peter Simon.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n                        \u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n                        \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eDANNY GOLDBERG\u003c\/b\u003e s the author of five previous books, including \u003ci\u003eIn Search of the Lost Chord: 1967 and the Hippie Idea\u003c\/i\u003e and the national bestseller \u003ci\u003eServing the Servant: Remembering Kurt Cobain\u003c\/i\u003e.
