Peter Coyote reads a bit from his essay about Emmett Grogan at Book Passage and then discusses is own path from the "bland East coast suburbs" to the heart of 60s counterculture, and about the current cultural moment.
Even if you're sick of hearing about the good old days of the sixties, when just about everyone was a believer in truth love and understanding and all of that—especially if you're sick of hearing about all of that—you should listen to Coyote talking about Grogan and the Diggers (later the "Free Family"), and their attempts at a truly radical remodeling of consumer-based society.
Counterpoint will be re-releasing Coyote's memoir Sleeping Where I Fall later in the year.
Ringolevio a book written for an era which is very misunderstood. Real men and real women who led lives worth keeping.
