I'm totally elated to announce that I'm working on a new book project for Da Capo. Heads: A Biography of Psychedelic America, slated for publication sometime in 2015, will be a history of the Deadhead continuum and very far beyond.

  Between now and then, I'll be posting book notes here as I research my way through the hippie bibliography of my dreams. All comments & further reading suggestions ap Read more of this blog post »

Quotes by Jesse Jarnow (?)

“Who said we are all doing the same thing?” Garcia will say to an interviewer about the East and West Coast. “That was the difference between us and them. For me it was very profound on lots of levels. Going off into the woods and being meditative didn’t cough up anything for me except how pretty everything is. I got my flashes from seeing other people, because I was also looking for something in this world, not out of it. I was looking for a way to get through this life, not a way to transcend it.”
― Jesse Jarnow, Heads: A Biography of Psychedelic America

“They’ve been having wars for ten thousand years and you’re not gonna stop it this way,” Kesey tells the assembled crowd. He winds up to it. “There’s only one thing’s gonna do any good at all,” he says. “And that’s everybody just look at it, look at the war, and turn your backs and say… fuck it.”
