Review of Berkeley in the Sixties (1990) by Jon G — 04 Mar 2008
Not as much drugs and psychedelia as I expected (and wanted, originally), but takes the hippie free speech movement seriously. Surprise surprise, more stuff happened than pot-smoking, drum circles and acid trips.
I also didn't expect any level-headed commentary (paraphrased: "We made the mistake of thinking we were fighting for a revolution - we were fighting for rights, which is not one in the same").
No incendiary tone whatsoever. Neither side is portrayed in glowing light, but rather as they were. Take that Michael Moore.
