At one mad outdoor party after another ä from Miami to Denver and from Woodstock to Altamont ä cracks in the promised hippie utopia quickly turned to canyons. This was the year that saw the Beatles go supernova while Bob Dylan hightailed it to Nashville. From the Byrds Joan Baez Jimi Hendrix the Airplane and Janis Joplin to the Velvet Underground the Mothers of Invention F
