Description: Films produced in late 1960s and early 1970s America continue to frame our understanding of the counterculture era. The popular and experimental music of the day is central to the counterculture narrative on film, from the utopian Monetery pop (1968) to the disenchantment of Gimme shelter (1970).
Notes: Includes bibliographical references (pages 193-201) and index.
