Beginning with the Weathermen explosion in Greenwich Village and ending with punk, the seventies was the age of extremes; sex, drugs and, of course, rock ‘n’ roll.
With an extraordinary cast of characters, and even more extraordinary anecdotes, In The Seventies tells, firsthand, the story – and stories – of the decade. From Allen Ginsberg’s hippie commune in upstate New York to the time Miles spent cataloguing William Burroughs’ archives in London, from David Bowie in drag to Grace Jones naked at Studio 54, it’s all here.
Vivid, compelling, intimate and, sometimes, insane, Barry Miles reveals the truth behind this legendary era.
