Summer of Love

The California Historical Society has a nice (temporary) exhibit of psychedelic rock posters and photos from the "Summer of Love," which seems was as much a convergence as it was media hype.

Interesting to note that early on Bill Graham hired a poster artist who later quit over disagreements on pay and rights to the work. Now some of the work is available on t-shirts in the gift shop -- $44 for a child-size t-shirt. Bill Graham presents: ways to make money from the grave !

Great ironies, during the "summer of love" there was a "death of money" demonstration. Bill Graham must have said, "ya, it's dead. you don't need money here in the Haight, so just give me all your dead presidents."
