SUMMARY:Music\, Rebellion\, Repression
DESCRIPTION:Two authors and a DJ \nFolksingers and the FBI by Aaron Leonard\nSome of the most prominent folk singers of the 20th Century\, Woody Guthrie\, ‘Sis Cunningham\, Pete Seeger\, Burl Ives\, etc.\, were also political activists with various associations with the American Communist Party. As a consequence the FBI\, kept meticulous files running many thousands of pages on them. Using music\, video selections\, news clippings\, and records from extensive Freedom of Information Act filings — including never before released material — this presentation will bring to life these artists and the systematic way  \nThe Explosion of Deferred Dreams by Mat Callahan\nThe book’s impassioned arguments both expose and reframe the political and social context for the San Francisco Sound and the vibrant subcultural uprisings with which it is associated. Using dozens of original interviews\, primary sources\, and personal experiences\, Callahan shows how the intense interplay of artistic and political movements put San Francisco\, briefly\, in the forefront of a worldwide revolutionary upsurge. A must-read for anyone who “was there” (or longed to have been). \nwith DJ Dennis O’Neil  \nMAT CALLAHAN is a musician and author.

SUMMARY:The Explosion of Deferred Dreams
DESCRIPTION:The Explosion of Deferred Dreams: Musical Renaissance and Social Revolution in San Francisco\, 1965–1975\nMat Callahan \nAs the fiftieth anniversary of the Summer of Love floods the media with debates and celebrations of music\, political movements\, “flower power\,” “acid rock\,” and “hippies”; The Explosion of Deferred Dreams offers a critical re-examination of the interwoven political and musical happenings in San Francisco in the Sixties. Author\, musician\, and native San Franciscan Mat Callahan explores the dynamic links between the Black Panthers and Sly and the Family Stone\, the United Farm Workers and Santana\, the Indian Occupation of Alcatraz and the San Francisco Mime Troupe\, and the New Left and the counterculture. \nCallahan’s meticulous\, impassioned arguments both expose and reframe the political and social context for the San Francisco Sound and the vibrant subcultural uprisings with which it is associated. Using dozens of original interviews\, primary sources\, and personal experiences\, the author shows how the intense interplay of artistic and political movements put San Francisco\, briefly\, in the forefront of a worldwide revolutionary upsurge. \nA must-read for any musician\, historian\, or person who “was there” (or longed to have been)\, The Explosion of Deferred Dreams is substantive and provocative\, inviting us to reinvigorate our historical sense-making of an era that assumes a mythic role in the contemporary American zeitgeist. \n“All too often\, people talk about the ’60s without mentioning our music and the fun we had trying to smash the state and create a culture based upon love. Mat Callahan’s book is a necessary corrective.” —George Katsiaficas\, author of The Imagination of the New Left: A Global Analysis of 1968 \nMat Callahan is a musician and author originally from San Francisco\, where he founded Komotion International. He is the author of three books\, Sex\, Death & the Angry Young Man\, Testimony\, and The Trouble with Music as well as the editor of Songs of Freedom: The James Connolly Songbook. He currently resides in Bern\, Switzerland.
