  • The Orkustra
    THE ORKUSTRA This day-by-day diary of The Orkustra's live, studio, broadcasting and private activities is the result of two decades of research and interview work by Bruno Ceriotti, but without the significant contributions by other kindred spirits this diary would not have been possible. So, I would like to thank all the people who, in one form or another, contributed to this timeline: Jaime Leopold (RIP), Bobby Beausoleil, David LaFlamme, Henry Rasof, Nathan Zakheim, Stephen Hannah, Jesse Barish, Steve LaRosa, Rod Harper (RIP), Colin Hill, Ross Hannan, Corry Arnold, William Hjortsberg, Aldo Pedron, Klemen Breznikar, Reg E.

Gleason (RIP), Craig Fenton, Alec Palao, Johnny Echols, 'Cousin Robert' Resner, Roman Garcia Albertos, James Marshall, Chester Kessler, Gene Anthony, Christopher Newton, Loren Means, The San Francisco Examiner, San Francisco Chronicle, San Francisco Oracle, and Berkeley Barb. September 1966 Undoubtedly the most experimental and ecletically diverse band of the so-called 'San Francisco Sound', The Orkustra were put together by the infamous Bobby Beausoleil. A larger than life character with a mixed reputation ("He was like Bugs Bunny," says Orkustra's bandmate Nathan Zakheim. "Very in your face, enthuastic."), Robert Kenneth Beausoleil, aka 'Cupid', aka 'Bummer Bob', aka 'Bobby Snofox', was born on Thursday, November 6, 1947, in Santa Barbara, California. After dropping out of high school and let his hair grow out, Bobby moved to Los Angeles in search of fame and fortune in 1965. There, over the summer, he played a six-string rhythm guitar with The Grass Roots, a folk- rock band later known as LOVE, for only three weeks, and also made a cameo appearance (as 'Cupid') in the famous underground documentary movie Mondo Hollywood.

This exciting publication appeals to what has been called "the most significant new market of the 80s," that is, gay women and men and those nongays who share a supportive open-mindedness placing them at the forefront of consumer awareness. This market numbers over 100,000 in Metro Milwaukee alone; SPECIAL EDITION reaches over 10,000 of the most active. Our purpose is to produce "A Gay Vision of the Business World" - a businesslike forum of general interest reflecting the vitality and diversity of the gay female and male community. You may have seen features on our magazine in local newspapers and television programs. We have been pleased by comments such as the following from past CCSE advertisers: "30 to 40 percent of my business is a result of CCBA advertising," or, "the business generated paid for my ad several times over," or, "business referrals through CCBA are growing daily." Madison Avenue adman Jerry Della Femina has said, "many...are throwing away millions [by not advertising to the gay market]...the rewards are certainly there." Surveys of the readers of one quality gay-oriented publication indicate: 87% are employed full time; median household income is $30,000; 89% have attended college; 67% are between the ages of 21 and 40, and, most significantly, 83% use advertised products and services.

  • The History of Hippies - San Francisco, California - the Haight-Ashbu
    The History of Hippies - San Francisco, California - The Haight-Ashbu... http://www.lovehaight.org/history/counterculture.html The Making of the Counterculture In the winter of 1954-55 America was in an economic, social, and cultural interregnum. One style of life, one mood — like Victorianism or Edwardianism — was giving way to another. The industrial age based on the mechanical exploitation of coal and iron was giving way to electronics, computers, automation — with all the social and intellectual results such a basic revolution implies — but as yet few indeed understood what was happening. The country was in a minor economic depression following the end of the Korean War. The Korean War represented a qualitative leap forward in technology and a lag in all other factors. However, morale broke down for a more simple reason. You can fight only one such war every twenty-five years. The Korean War took place within the effective memory of the Second World War. The academic and intellectual establishment, Left, Right, and Center, was shattered, demoralized, and discredited by the years of McCarthyism. Young men by the thousands were returning from the Korean War to the colleges disillusioned and contemptuous of their elders. They said to each other, “Keep your nose clean and don’t volunteer.” “Don’t believe anybody over thirty.” Communication between groups broke down. Only those of the older generation who had remained defiant were respected, listened to, questioned. Just as the Army took years to discover the almost total breakdown of morale in Korea, so the older intellectuals were unaware that a volcano was building up under them.

  • The Civics of Rock: Sixties Countercultural Music and The
    THE CIVICS OF ROCK: SIXTIES COUNTERCULTURAL MUSIC AND THE TRANSFORMATION OF THE PUBLIC SPHERE by Michael Jacob Kramer A dissertation submitted to the faculty of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of History. Chapel Hill 2006 Approved by Advisor: John F. Kasson Reader: Robert Cantwell Reader: Peter Filene Reader: Lawrence Grossberg Reader: Jacquelyn Hall © 2006 Michael Jacob Kramer ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT MICHAEL KRAMER: The Civics of Rock: Sixties Countercultural Music and the Transformation of the Public Sphere (Under the direction of Professor John F. Kasson) For the counterculture of the 1960s and 70s, rock music was not only mass entertainment, but also a form of public life. While many scholars have argued that rock was incompatible with civic participation, this book claims that in music scenes such as San Francisco, in poster art and dancing, on the radio and in print publications, rock served as a flash point for dilemmas of citizenship and civil society. As frequently as it deteriorated into escapism and hedonism, rock also created an atmosphere of inquiry in which the young might listen, think, move, and feel their way through issues of public and civic interaction, such as identity, belonging, power, and democracy. Even when exported by the American military to Vietnam or when circulating to youth movements worldwide, far from eclipsing public life, rock music transformed it into a mass-mediated mode of association
