S1E10 Sex, Drugs, and Rock N’ Roll (1960 – 1969)

Throughout the 1960s, American culture underwent a significant transformation, shaped by the preferences, values, and political views of the Baby Boomer generation. Jann Wenner, Grace Slick, David Wild, Leonard Steinhorn, Tom Wolfe, Douglas Brinkley, Tom Hanks, and others reflect on how figures and movements like beatniks, Haight-Ashbury, Andy Warhol, Timothy Leary, hippies, and Hell’s Angels emerged as defining elements of the counterculture, leaving a lasting impact that continues to influence society today.
