Summer of Love: 40th Anniversary ~
It Was Forty Years Ago Today…(close enough, anyway…)
Many things come to mind when we think of the Summer of Love: hippies, San Francisco, free love, be-ins, LSD. Hippies became yuppies and a house in Haight-Ashbury now runs you a million dollars, but the legacy of one of that summer’s elements hasn’t faded: the music.

The five years at the end of the 1960s took the electric guitar from Chuck Berry to Jimi Hendrix, the LP from an afterthought to an art form, and changed pop culture forever. Right in the middle was 1967, a year during which so many classic albums were released it’s hard to believe.

We’re celebrating the 40th anniversary of Sgt. Pepper, Monterey Pop, Rolling Stone, and all the rest with this look back at the sights and sounds of the ’60s. Share your memories with other customers in our discussion forum.
