Aquarius Revisited
Thursday, July 26, 2007
40 years after the Summer of Love, what's the legacy of the 1960s counterculture? Author and psychologist Peter O. Whitmer shares his insight. He interviewed some of the mavericks who helped give birth to the counterculture, including Ken Kesey, Timothy Leary, Tom Robbins, Allen Ginsberg, and Hunter S. Thompson. He's co-author of Aquarius Revisited: Seven Who Created the Sixties Counterculture That Changed America.
