The rise and fall of
Haight-Ashbury

PeaceHippies on the Web. A collection of commented links to sites related to the Haight-Ashbury. Includes many of the organizations and bands that contributed to the Summer of Love and helped define the hippie counterculture lifestyle.

Video: The making of the Beatles Sgt. Pepper during the Summer of Love
These clips tell the story in a very concise style with extraordinary interviews and film footage.

Haight-Ashbury CD-ROM movie trailer. The CD-ROM title Haight-Ashbury in the Sixties! was released in 1996. It was the first to combine history with licensed music from popular bands.

Haight-Ashbury CD-ROM Cover

This 2-disc CD-ROM set, produced and directed by Tony Bove, included video clips, images by hundreds of artists (including Alton Kelley, who designed the artwork for the package), and words from the Haight-Ashbury and the San Francisco Oracle (edited by Allen Cohen), and music by the Grateful Dead, the Jefferson Airplane, Big Brother and the Holding Company with Janis Joplin, and Tom Constanten. Haight-Ashbury in the Sixties! was acclaimed in reviews (New York Times, USA Today, S.F. Chronicle, etc.) at a time when interactive documentaries and musical experiences were new to the digital media.

YinYangSummer of Love
By Allen Cohen, editor of the S.F. Oracle: "The Summer of Love was the peak of the Haight Ashbury experience. Over 100,000 youth came to the Haight. Hoards of reporters, movie makers, FBI agents, undercover police, drug addicts, provocateurs, Mafioso and about 100,000 more tourists to watch them all followed in their wake."

The Haight-Ashbury Poster

Allen Ginsberg. Poet Allen Ginsberg will be remembered as one of America's greatest literary figures and counterculture heroes. He leaves behind an incredibly inspirational body of work. There are lots of web sites devoted to his poetry, such as this one that analyzes "Howl" and other poems.

Timothy Leary. He pioneered the use of LSD in the 1960s, escaped prison in the 1970s, wrote inspired essays on mind expansion and evolution while dabbling in software in the 1980s, and became a multimedia star in the 1990s, and even since passing on, he continues to be in the forefront of whatever counterculture you have in mind.

The Digger Archives
Preserves and presents the history of the anarchist guerilla street theater group that challenged the emerging Counterculture of the 1960s and whose actions and ideals inspired (and continue to inspire) a generation (of all ages) to create models of Free Association. For many people, the Diggers epitomized the 1960s Haight-Ashbury experience. For some, they were its heart and conscience.

PeaceHaight-Ashbury Free Clinic
Founded in 1967 by Dr. David Smith. The doctors who work there believe that health care is a right, not a privilege. It should be free at the point of delivery, and it should be comprehensive, nonjudgmental, demystified, and humane. Rock Med is but one of their wonderful projects.
