Original Collages by Alton Kelley
Designed for the Haight-Ashbury in the Sixties CD-ROM
These images, from the Haight-Ashbury in the Sixties CD-ROM, are well worth the wait! Alton Kelley is a legendary Sixties artist who created some of the most well-known album covers and posters from that era.
These collages include photos of the Grateful Dead, and of Janis Joplin of Big Brother and the Holding Company, by Herb Greene.
Neal Cassady, the actual person upon which the character Dean Moriarity of the Jack Kerouac book, On the Road, is based, survived the beat generation to join the acid-eating Merry Pranksters as, of course, their bus driver. Bill Graham was briefly a member of the S. F. Mime Troupe before starting the Fillmore concerts for the Haight-Ashbury. He eventually became the most widely known rock music promoter and showman.
