Description: Los Angeles in the 1960s gave the world some of the greatest music in rock 'n' roll history. But there was a dark flip side to the fun fun fun of the music, a nexus between naive young musicians and the hangers-on who exploited the decade's peace, love, and flowers ethos, all fueled by sex, drugs, and overnight success.
