Richard neville
Hippie Hippie shake
the Dreams, the trips, the trials, the love-ins, the sixties
as publisher of the satirical magazine Oz—the hippies’ handbook and a
monument to psychedelia—Richard neville was at the center of a cyclone
of radicals, rock musicians, artists, and hustlers. Oz was at the forefront of the
’60s underground movement, featuring articles by Germaine Greer,
groundbreaking design by pop artist martin sharp, and cartoons by Robert
crumb. When the magazine was tried for obscenity, John lennon and yoko
ono marched in protest. With an updated chapter on the legacy of flower
power a generation later, neville demythologizes the 1960s in this hilarious,
colorful, and provocative memoir of the time.
“More dopers, visionaries, groupies, loonies, con artists, and sharks
than you can wave a spliff at . . . Hugely enjoyable.” —Time Out
“An entrancingly wicked account of the greatest decade ever.”
—Marie Claire
“The perfect sixties book . . . the definitive guide to the sex and
drugs shebang.” —Independent
