description: From "He wanted to change the world, and all he had was a little magazine...From Sydney to Karmandu, from the Marrakesh Express to London's Summer of Love, from Yippie shock tactics to fancy dress at the Old Bailey, take this hilarious trip through the outragious fields of flower power with a rebel editor and an underground magazine that caused the establishment to burst its boiler. As publisher of Oz, the hippies' handbook and monument to psychedelia, Richard Nevelle was at the centre of the 1960s cyclone of idealists, rock musicians, radicals artists, hustlers and high society. He almost managed to remain objective through it all, frequently startling even close admirers with his original views and witty candour. In Hippie Hippie Shake Richard Neville demythologises the 1960s in a highly amusing, colourful and provocative memoir of the times."
