Who am I?
The 1960s counter-culture was not a fashion statement; it was a way of life. It looked at the boring establishment, the old-boys network, the stereotypical attire, the joyless lack of creativity, the conventions, religion, politics, blatant selfish greed, exploitation, inherent racism and sexism and looked to create something better. I was part of it.
We stood up for our ideals – the anti-war movement, liberation of sex, and the bringing of freedom and colour into a drab 1950s post-war society.
I describe the experience in a number of my books – ‘In Search of Captain Beefheart’, ‘Goofin’ with the Cosmic Freaks’ and ‘The Life and Times of a Sixties Freak’. Check ’em out at Amazon:
