Across the Great Divide

Praise for Wayne Karol’s The Sixties as Science Fiction: An Appreciation of Paul Kantner: “Easily the best thing I’ve ever seen written on him and his music and ‘what it all means’.“
—Jeff Tamarkin, author of Got A Revolution: The Turbulent Flight of Jefferson Airplane “One of the finest pieces of writing about music and society that it’s been my pleasure to read.“
—Bill Parry, co-editor, Holding Together The Sixties were such a long time ago; why can’t America seem to stop re-fighting the battles we fought then? Why are we still so bitterly divided? Why does so much of what’s happening now seem like weird repetitions of the past, from the Monica Lewinsky scandal and Watergate to Iraq and Vietnam? In Across the Great Divide, Wayne Karol offers an original and insightful perspective on how we ended up in this mess and what we might be able to do about it. It’s his duty as a baby boomer to hope that it will change the world.
