+ Want to read

Turn off your mind, relax, and float downstreamMuch more than just a survey of "acid rock" or the Haight-Ashbury scene, this book explores the fascinating evolution of "head music" from the days of Ken Kesey's acid tests to psychedelic hip-hop, from acid house music to rave culture, and beyond.
