The turmoil and injustice of the 60s generated some incredible countercultural art. That art - especially music - seemed to till the soil for a new generation to grow fresh ideas in. Where is the great countercultural art now? What are you hearing that gives you hope?

Just launched a new Podcast w recordings from our recent live events at Vinyl Tap Nashville and the gathering at the Wheaton Public Library with a bonus: the opening of the book from the actual audio production. Thank you to everyone who came to these events and asked such great questions.
