Publisher's Synopsis
It was that moonstruck time when new identies were everything, when the resulting lifestyles dictated not only how people dressed, spoke, behaved and ate but also what they believed.;It was the age of Aquarius, of fun-fun-fun surfers and party animals, the martini man and the playboy philosophy, mod taffeta ties and Beatle-style caps, hippies, Hell's Angels, rock groupies and the radical underground.;The 1960s left an indelible mark on all who lived through them - and lots who didn't. By looking beyond the front-page headlines, the Sterns give us a brave new slant on a time that was as comical as it was consequential.;Investigators of cultural phenomena, Jane and Michael Stern are the authors of 11 books, among them "Square Meals", "Roadfood and Goodfood", and "Elvis World".
