There's a Riot Going On: Revolutionaries, Rock Stars, and the Rise and Fall of '60s Counter-Culture
Trade Paperback
From the publisher's website:
Between 1965 and 1972, political activists around the globe prepared to
mount a revolution, from the Black Panthers to the Gay Liberation Front,
from the Yippies to the IRA. Rock and soul music supplied the
revolutionary tide with anthems and iconic imagery; and renowned
musicians such as John Lennon, Mick Jagger and Bob Dylan were
particularly influential in the movement. This is the definitive account
of this unique period in modern history; a compelling portrait of an
era when revolutionaries turned into rock stars, and rock stars dressed
up as revolutionaries.
