by Mikal Gilmore Journalist Mikal Gilmore writes a eulogy to the 60's and 70's as he examines the lives of the era's most important cultural icons. Gilmore reveals the truth about this idealized period in history, never shying away from the ugly influences that brought many of Rock's most exciting figures to their knees - he examines how Jim Morrison's alcoholism led to the star's demise at the age of 27, how Jerry Garcia's drug problems brought him to the brink of death so many times that his band mates did not believe the news of his actual demise, how Pink Floyd never truly forgave themselves for kicking out founding member Syd Barrett because of his debilitating mental illness. As Gilmore examines the dark side of these complicated figures, he paints a picture of the environment that bred them, taking readers from the rough streets of Liverpool to the hippie haven of Haight Ashbury that hosted the infamous Summer of Love.
