I think this book could get anyone hooked on the series! Apr 17, Mrs. So my apologies and I hope that some of my meaning gets through. I think we have to move beyond the conventional way of viewing the Summer of Love era by giving ourselves over to naked lunch.
This is a term coined by Jack Kerouac and explained by Williams Burroughs when he used it as the title of one of his novels. Upon being viewed through the lens of naked lunch, the Summer of Love appears much different than we had previously believed it to be. It has become a point of demarcation separating two separate and mutually exclusive historical realities or generations?
The pre- and post-Summer of Love countercultures are so strikingly different that the two demand to be seen as two separate and mutually exclusive realities that comprise, ironically, a generational split within the counterculture itself. This generational split occurred between those individuals who were born during or immediately before World War II and the baby boomers. People were doing what they were doing for its own sake and what they felt moved to do. For an interesting exercise when you have the time, look up the birthdays of the musicians who emerged during this time, throw in a Dylan or a Beatle or two, and you will be amazed, I promise you.
It is a misnomer I believe, to see the baby boomers as creators in this regard. The baby boomers, as they did after and during the Summer of Love, contribute all but nothing. Instead they were a market, consumers. The most remarkable thing in looking back at the culture these people built was that it all happened without a plan though not without inspiration. It was spontaneous — a charismatic-visceral sort of experience. There was a sense that these people were inventing it as they went along without any thought given to really inventing anything or thoughts of making any more money than they needed to get by.
They were just doing it, whatever it was — music, painting, light shows, film, writing, or simply being. This is not to say that there were not outward manifestations, which marked someone as a member of the counterculture. These things existed, to be certain, and usually took the form of an appreciation for rock music and a propensity for psychedelic drugs, light shows, long hair, and Eastern philosophy. It also was there in a sense of naturalness in personal appearance and dress, a certain playfulness toward life, an appreciation of nature and its interconnectedness, and a philosophy that stressed the innate goodness and divinity of man, among a host of other things.
One must keep in mind, however, that while these various things may provide windows into the soul they are in the end only external expressions of an inward reality and not the soul itself.

Consequently, at some point in the mid to late s, the outward signs of membership in the counterculture somehow became more important than the substance of the culture itself; the culture had become codified and imitative. One no longer had to earn admission, now one could buy it. To my way of thinking, the counterculture was first and foremost an artistic phenomenon and should be dealt with as such.
It was a time when the nature and forms of literature changed — think electrified rock, Acid Tests, light shows, etc. It can no longer be understood by using the old methods. We must develop new ways of communicating about it that are equivalent to it. Doing this with an experiential reality such as poetry is difficult if not impossible.
But we owe it to the work. I am glad, if always a bit nervous what will happen, to go on a journey into the Burroughsian Interzone, whatever meal awaits. As Ken Kesey remarked, they were too young to be Beats, too old to be hippies. Freaks in their own minds; in the wider mass society, they were beatniks.
They do seem to be the key group here in terms of inventing a counterculture during the mids. Or what Binkley, more critically, calls the post-countercultural goal among middle-class to adopt looser, more potentially liberating modes of labor. On the whole, this might have been a more affluent effort: Between the mid 60s and s, what happened?
Maybe it was the dream of achieving some kind of paradoxical mass bohemia or pop bohemia. Freaks or heads early on. Later hippies from Caen. Kerouac still the best with calling himself the bippie in the middle. Just consider this small sample of birthdays and accomplishments for mostly musicians and selected others:. Maybe it was the fluoride in the water or the radioactive dust in the atmosphere or the appearance of Elvis.
Whatever it was it sure was missing in the boomers. That came later with the Byrds, etc. Someone once said the 60s would not have been possible without the jet engine and the birth control pill. They were just doing what they wanted to and were moved to do for its own sake. As Ken Kesey put it: Read at your own peril.
Given such a faulty foundation, our attempts to build true and lasting analyses and evaluations are difficult to realize. This creates a faulty foundation that prevents us from reaching an understanding of the phenomenon. As a result, when we consider the subject, we are confronted with a false picture of reality that takes precedence and is perpetuated over the truth. There are several myths about the counterculture that I would like to dispel. In truth, they had nothing to do with the building, creation or development of anything — artistic, cultural, etc. People — musicians, writers, light show artists, poster artists, etc.
Summer of Love
In point of fact, there were several countercultures during that period each of which different enough from predecessors and followers that they continued separate entities and not just parts of a whole. In reality what was there at the end bore only a superficial resemblance to what had been there at the start. The form was still present but the substance was gone. The lesson to be learned here is not to visit the sins of the children upon the fathers and mothers.
There was no overriding financial motivation. Oh sure some of them made a little bit of money at the time; you gotta live after all and cover other expenses.
They were after a different kind of outcome. Their philosophy echoed Thoreau: Raised by her single dad with more than a little help from her funky aunt Mable , almost-sixteen-year-old Love is strong willed, with a wry sense of humor - but will she fit into the world of Hadley Hall? But being a "fac brat" makes new friends hard to come by, and the guys - well, that remains to be seen. Now Love's got to step it up if she's going to overcome her less-than-glamorous reality and get that walk-on role in her own fantasies. For Love Bukowski, summer's over and school is about to begin.

But it seems like Love's going it alone: Her aunt Mable has been acting weird, her dad who happens to be principal of the school is preoccupied, her ex is pouting in Europe, and her former friend Cordelia has bonded with the evil Lindsay Parrish. Enter Arabella Piece, the new exchange student from London, who's staying with Love and has some secrets of her own. Love Bukowski is finally in London!
Her term abroad at the London Academy of Drama and Music promises to be anything but average. Voice lessons, keeping up with Arabella and her new friends, and falling for a Brit who is completely off limits. Springtime blooms, but for Love Bukowski, life at home is chilly. Unfortunately, it feels as though her fabulous British life and boyfriend are on hold.
