  • Introduction in Their Thirty Years Together, the Grateful Dead Forever
    Introduction In their thirty years together, the Grateful Dead forever altered the way in which popular music is performed, recorded, heard, marketed, and shared. Founding members Jerry Garcia, Bill Kreutzmann, Phil Lesh, Ron “Pigpen” McKernan, and Bob Weir took the name Grateful Dead in 1965, after incarnations as Mother McCree’s Uptown Jug Champions and The Warlocks. Despite significant changes in the band’s lineup, including the addition of Mickey Hart and the death of Ron McKernan, the band played together until Jerry Garcia’s death in 1995. From the beginning, the Grateful Dead distinguished themselves by their preference for live performance, musical and business creativity, and an unprecedented dedication to their fans. Working musicians rather than rock stars, the Dead developed a distinctive sound while performing as latter-day American troubadours, bringing audio precision to their live performances and the spontaneity of live performances to their studio work. Side-stepping the established rules of the recording industry, the Dead took control of the production and distribution of their music. With a similar business savvy, they introduced strategic marketing innovations that strengthened the bond with their fans. This exhibition, the first extensive presentation of materials from the Grateful Dead Archive housed at the University of California, Santa Cruz, testifies to the enduring impact of the Grateful Dead and provides a glimpse into the social upheavals and awakenings of the late twentieth century—a transformative period that profoundly shaped our present cultural landscape. Amalie R. Rothschild, Fillmore East Marquee, December 1969. Courtesy Amalie R. Rothschild Beginnings The Grateful Dead began their musical journey in the San Francisco Bay Area at a pivotal time in American history, when the sensibilities of the Beat generation coincided with the spirit of the burgeoning hippie movement.

  • Psychedelic Resource List (PRL) Was Born in 1994 As a Subscription-Based Newsletter
    A Note from the Author… The Psychedelic Resource List (PRL) was born in 1994 as a subscription-based newsletter. In 1996, everything that had previously been published, along with a bounty of new material, was updated and compiled into a book. From 1996 until 2004, several new editions of the book were produced. With each new version, a decrease in font size correlated to an increase in information. The task of revising the book grew continually larger. Two attempts to create an updated fifth edition both fizzled out. I finally accepted that keeping on top of all of the new books, businesses, and organizations, had become a more formidable challenge than I wished to take on. In any case, these days folks can find much of what they are looking for by simply using an Internet search engine. Even though much of the PRL is now extremely dated, it occurred to me that there are two reasons why making it available on the web might be of value. First, despite the fact that a good deal of the book’s content describes things that are no longer extant, certainly some of the content relates to writings that are still available and businesses or organizations that are still in operation. The opinions expressed regarding such literature and groups may remain helpful for those who are attempting to navigate the field for solid resources, or who need some guidance regarding what’s best to avoid. Second, the book acts as a snapshot of underground culture at a particular point in history. As such, it may be found to be an enjoyable glimpse of the psychedelic scene during the late 1990s and early 2000s.

  • Chapter 1: Architectural and Social Background
    HAIGHT-ASHBURY AND ITS CONTRIBUTION TO THE COUNTERCULTURE MOVEMENT A Thesis Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Cornell University In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts in Historic Preservation and Planning by Ethan James Potter August 2020 i © 2020 Ethan James Potter i ABSTRACT The City of San Francisco, specifically the Haight-Ashbury neighborhood, was the epicenter of the American Counterculture Movement in the mid to late sixties. The social, cultural, and political impact of this movement is vast and widely known. This thesis provides a themed historical narrative of the Haight-Ashbury, specifically about its role in the Counterculture Movement. There are three major themes that explore the history of both the Counterculture Movement and Haight-Ashbury. Significant planning and preservation efforts for Haight-Ashbury, since the sixties, are also surveyed. Subjects such as intangible culture, history, city planning, and architecture are examined as they pertain to Haight-Ashbury and the Counterculture Movement. ii BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH Ethan Potter is, above all, passionate for history. He grew up in Sammamish Washington, playing baseball and football. He studied history, English, and anthropology at Washington State University graduating with a Bachelor of Arts in History. He then worked in education as a tutor and a docent. Ethan decided to pursue a degree in Historic Preservation for its ability to educate the public about history. Ethan was inspired to pursue history after reading Carl L. Becker’s 1930 speech, “Every Man A Historian,” which demonstrates how historical research is conducted by nearly everyone, every day.

  • Visual Literacy (Images and Photographs) Every Day, We See and Are Exposed to Hundreds, Perhaps Thousands, of Images That Pass Through Our Radar Screens
    Visual Literacy (Images and Photographs) Every day, we see and are exposed to hundreds, perhaps thousands, of images that pass through our radar screens. Everyone, it seems, is vying for our attention. Unfortunately, not many of us know how to "read images.’ One of the ways to teach critical thinking and "media literacy" is to start with the still image. In many arts classrooms, “visual literacy” is introduced: the methods and techniques artists use to create meaning in paintings: that knowledge can now be applied to photographs as well. SC State Department of Education Visual & Performing Arts Standards (link to 2010 revision) 2010 Media Arts Standard Standard 3 (Media Literacy): The student will demonstrate the ability to access, analyze, interpret and create media (communications) in all forms. Teachers will recognize “analyze,” “interpret” and “create” as three of the verbs belonging to the Bloom’s Taxonomy of Learning higher order thinking skills. Analyze (or analysis) is defined as: “breaking down objects or ideas into simpler parts and seeing how the parts relate and are organized” (source) Interpret is defined as: “to bring out the meaning of” whatever is seen (source) Creating is defined as: “putting the elements together to form a coherent or functional whole; reorganising elements into a new pattern or structure through generating, planning or producing” (Source) Creating sits at the top a new Bloom’s Digital Taxonomy.

  • Syllabus for San Francisco Rock of the 1960S Instructor: Richie Unterberger, [email protected] OLLI Berkeley at Lafayette
    Syllabus for San Francisco Rock of the 1960s Instructor: Richie Unterberger, [email protected] OLLI Berkeley at Lafayette Week 1 I. The Roots of the San Francisco Sound A. Blues, soul, rock'n'roll, jazz, and folk are recorded in the Bay Area throughout the 1940s and 1950s, without establishing a strong regional identity for San Francisco popular music. Key artists include: Lowell Fulson, Jimmy McCracklin, Vince Guaraldi, Bobby Freeman, Barbara Dane, and the Kingston Trio. B. San Francisco radio DJ Tom Donahue helps establish a rock label, Autumn Records, that gets one of the first Beatles-styled national hits by an American group with the Beau Brummels. Key artists: The Beau Brummels, the Mojo Men, the Vejtables. C. Kingston Trio manager Frank Werber handles We Five, who have one of the first folk-rock hits with "You Were on My Mind" in 1965. Meanwhile, the Beau Brummels mature from British Invasion imitators into a folk-rock sound of their own. Key artists: We Five, the Beau Brummels. Other themes: the growth of independent record labels and studios in the Bay Area; the power of local radio DJs and AM radio stations. II. The Birth of Underground San Francisco Rock A. Young adults and students start to populate the Haight-Ashbury neighborhood, bringing with them a new counterculture and a hunger to create art without commercial restrictions. Key artists: the Charlatans, the Great Society, Big Brother & the Holding Company. B. Jefferson Airplane's founder and singer, Marty Balin, opens the Matrix Club in the Marina for the band to play in summer 1965.
