Book Reviews of The San Francisco Oracle / The Psychedelic Newspaper of the Haight Ashbury (Digital Re-Creation)
Book Review: Beautiful~
Summary: 5 Stars
"Drop out! Modern civilization is a dangerous, insane process- destructive of man's natural potential, murderous to other species of life, symbol addicted, anti-life. Drop out of the social game." (2nd Page of The San Francisco Oracle).
If you missed the sixties, as I did, being born a decade too late, you owe it to yourself to read this amazing home-grown newspaper. How relevant so many of these "revolutionary" ideas seem today. If people had only took these ideas seriously! So much of what these concerned, creative, independent thinkers predicted has come true. This is the Haight at its best- before it was overrun by mindless junkies. Of course, REALLY living, being joyful, expanding consciousness, and living fully in the present is an essential message throughout these issues, but so is compassion, love, and caring for community and the environment.
A beautiful movement captured in such a unique newspaper, or rather anti-newspaper. Should be required reading in American Studies classes.
