As a child, her tomboy brusqueness and outspoken charm complemented her complexity of mind and spirit; Port Arthur was a segregated “cultural backwater,” according to George-Warren, that only served to heighten Joplin’s independence and curiosity. After falling under the sway of blues and rock music as a teenager, she leapt eagerly into the beatnik scene. Beat author Jack Kerouac’s \u003cem>On the Road\u003c/em> floored her in 1957, and its exploration of freedom and countercultural notions set her soul ablaze. From there, sex and drugs became staples of her life, a progression that often feels formulaic in accounts of Boomer coming-of-age. But George-Warren’s deep research, eye for detail, illuminating contextualization, and clarity of delivery all make for a far more rounded and convincing image of Joplin’s precocity in the heady decades of post-World War II America.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But it was Joplin’s pilgrimage to San Francisco in 1966 to join the up-and-coming psychedelic band Big Brother and the Holding Company that catapulted her to the pop-culture pantheon. Her gritty, gutsy, godlike voice didn’t mesh well with the group at first; they had to bend their more progressive tendencies in order to accommodate their new singer’s far more direct and impactful sound. Big Brother’s searing appearance at the Monterey Pop Festival in the summer of 1967 cemented her stardom, and their hit single “Piece of My Heart,” an Erma Franklin cover, from their best-selling 1968 album \u003cem>Cheap Thrills \u003c/em>became an anthem for hippies and feminists everywhere.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7uG2gYE5KOs\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>George-Warren traces this rise meticulously, citing contemporaneous interviews as well as fresh sources in order to paint Joplin’s ascendance far more fully than has ever been accomplished before. And her riotous anecdotes splash color on the canvas, from the time Joplin started a massive bar-brawl thanks to her sensuous dancing one night in Austin to the snapshot of her getting into a fistfight with one of her heroes, Jerry Lee Lewis.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>George-Warren’s prior work includes biographies of other troubled rockers with cult followings, most recently Big Star’s Alex Chilton in her book \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2014/03/27/289062063/the-backwards-life-of-alex-chilton-in-destruction\">\u003cem>A Man Called Destruction\u003c/em>\u003c/a>. Her knack for capturing conflicted subjects is uncanny; in \u003cem>Janis\u003c/em>, she digs into Joplin’s layered emotions, fluid sexuality, unshakably low self-esteem, and unquenchable urge to transcend her racist, restricted Port Arthur upbringing. Joplin left Big Brother in early 1969 to strike out on her own, and her solo career accelerated everything in her life, good and bad, toward a terminal velocity.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Janis \u003c/em>captivatingly tells the story of her two solo albums, 1969’s \u003cem>I Got Dem Ol’ Kozmic Blues Again Mama!\u003c/em> and 1971’s posthumous \u003cem>Pearl\u003c/em>, as well as the latter’s chart-topping hit “Me and Bobby McGee,” rendering the backdrop and behind-the-scenes genesis of these recordings with crystalline insight. Joplin’s death on Oct. 4, 1970, of an accidental heroin overdose seems like a tragic inevitability, the byproduct of a life spent leaning into the boundaries of expression and art. At \u003cem>Janis\u003c/em>‘s heart is Joplin’s voice—a ragged, sensitive, elemental howl that the singer herself explained by saying, “I just opened my mouth and that’s what I sounded like.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Domestic earth mother” versus “tough biker chick”: By book’s end, George-Warren has boiled down Joplin’s complicated psyche into this simple, vivid dichotomy. But the author is far from reductive as she does so.

As a child, her tomboy brusqueness and outspoken charm complemented her complexity of mind and spirit; Port Arthur was a segregated “cultural backwater,” according to George-Warren, that only served to heighten Joplin’s independence and curiosity. After falling under the sway of blues and rock music as a teenager, she leapt eagerly into the beatnik scene. Beat author Jack Kerouac’s \u003cem>On the Road\u003c/em> floored her in 1957, and its exploration of freedom and countercultural notions set her soul ablaze. From there, sex and drugs became staples of her life, a progression that often feels formulaic in accounts of Boomer coming-of-age. But George-Warren’s deep research, eye for detail, illuminating contextualization, and clarity of delivery all make for a far more rounded and convincing image of Joplin’s precocity in the heady decades of post-World War II America.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But it was Joplin’s pilgrimage to San Francisco in 1966 to join the up-and-coming psychedelic band Big Brother and the Holding Company that catapulted her to the pop-culture pantheon. Her gritty, gutsy, godlike voice didn’t mesh well with the group at first; they had to bend their more progressive tendencies in order to accommodate their new singer’s far more direct and impactful sound. Big Brother’s searing appearance at the Monterey Pop Festival in the summer of 1967 cemented her stardom, and their hit single “Piece of My Heart,” an Erma Franklin cover, from their best-selling 1968 album \u003cem>Cheap Thrills \u003c/em>became an anthem for hippies and feminists everywhere.\u003c/p>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutube'>\n \u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutubeInside'>\n \u003ciframe\n loading='lazy'\n class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__youtubePlayer'\n type='text/html'\n src='//www.youtube.com/embed/7uG2gYE5KOs'\n title='//www.youtube.com/embed/7uG2gYE5KOs'\n allowfullscreen='true'\n style='border:0;'>\u003c/iframe>\n \u003c/span>\n \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"fullwidth"},"numeric":["fullwidth"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>George-Warren traces this rise meticulously, citing contemporaneous interviews as well as fresh sources in order to paint Joplin’s ascendance far more fully than has ever been accomplished before. And her riotous anecdotes splash color on the canvas, from the time Joplin started a massive bar-brawl thanks to her sensuous dancing one night in Austin to the snapshot of her getting into a fistfight with one of her heroes, Jerry Lee Lewis.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>George-Warren’s prior work includes biographies of other troubled rockers with cult followings, most recently Big Star’s Alex Chilton in her book \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2014/03/27/289062063/the-backwards-life-of-alex-chilton-in-destruction\">\u003cem>A Man Called Destruction\u003c/em>\u003c/a>. Her knack for capturing conflicted subjects is uncanny; in \u003cem>Janis\u003c/em>, she digs into Joplin’s layered emotions, fluid sexuality, unshakably low self-esteem, and unquenchable urge to transcend her racist, restricted Port Arthur upbringing. Joplin left Big Brother in early 1969 to strike out on her own, and her solo career accelerated everything in her life, good and bad, toward a terminal velocity.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Janis \u003c/em>captivatingly tells the story of her two solo albums, 1969’s \u003cem>I Got Dem Ol’ Kozmic Blues Again Mama!\u003c/em> and 1971’s posthumous \u003cem>Pearl\u003c/em>, as well as the latter’s chart-topping hit “Me and Bobby McGee,” rendering the backdrop and behind-the-scenes genesis of these recordings with crystalline insight. Joplin’s death on Oct. 4, 1970, of an accidental heroin overdose seems like a tragic inevitability, the byproduct of a life spent leaning into the boundaries of expression and art. At \u003cem>Janis\u003c/em>‘s heart is Joplin’s voice—a ragged, sensitive, elemental howl that the singer herself explained by saying, “I just opened my mouth and that’s what I sounded like.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Domestic earth mother” versus “tough biker chick”: By book’s end, George-Warren has boiled down Joplin’s complicated psyche into this simple, vivid dichotomy. But the author is far from reductive as she does so. In encapsulating Joplin’s dual nature so concisely, George-Warren delivers the definitive portrait of one of pop culture’s most misunderstood martyrs. Joplin was both a product and an architect of her times; in dwelling so sympathetically on her tangle of talents, contradictions, and mythology, \u003cem>Janis \u003c/em>brings one of rock’s most enduring legends down to earth while holding her justly up to the light.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Jason Heller is a Hugo Award-winning editor and author of the new book \u003c/em>Strange Stars: David Bowie, Pop Music, and the Decade Sci-Fi Exploded. \u003cem>He’s on Twitter: \u003c/em>\u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/jason_m_heller\">\u003cem>@jason_m_heller\u003c/em>\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">\u003cem>Copyright 2019 NPR.

And there was this authenticity that came across. She wasn’t just standing up there singing — she was basically emptying out her guts through that amazing voice of hers, and touching her audience members like they had never been touched before. I’ve talked to people who saw her back in 1966, ’67 and they talk about it as if it was yesterday — especially women, I think, because she was able to express deep-down emotions, shame, disappointments, hurts that I think a lot of women in her audience couldn’t express themselves. And Janis was not only just singing to them; she was singing for them. And I think that kind of deep connection was very, very unique at that time.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>On the sexual energy she exuded onstage \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>You can look to two major influences that Janis had that I think affected her sexuality and the way she expressed it onstage. One was, of course, the great \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/artists/15404953/bessie-smith\">Bessie Smith,\u003c/a> whose lyrics Janis knew by heart. … She started performing Bessie Smith songs around 1963, and those kind of lyrics of sexuality, of sexual longing, sexual betrayal: Those very much informed Janis’ own songwriting and the songs that she chose to sing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The other major influence was \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/artists/15802310/otis-redding\">Otis Redding\u003c/a>. She was a huge Otis fan until the day she died, and she got to see him perform live three nights in a row at the Fillmore back in 1966, and it transformed her. He was a very sexual performer and he was able to emit this heat on stage that Janis herself was able to do through her own way of manifesting these feelings that she had while singing these songs. Janis … compared singing on stage to having an orgasm. She blew some journalists’ minds when she used that expression, but it was a very sexual experience for her.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>On the black artists that influenced her sound \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Janis took her own vocals for granted until she discovered \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2015/02/21/387566023/that-blew-my-mind-raiding-the-lead-belly-vault\">Lead Belly\u003c/a>. She just thought: Oh, anybody can sing soprano. She sang in the church choir and the glee club. But when she heard Lead Belly’s voice, she wanted to experiment with roughing up her sound and making it more raw and she was a mimic. She discovered \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/artists/97739742/odetta\">Odetta, \u003c/a>who had kind of the round tones, and she started trying to sing like Odetta on her records. But she was mostly inspired by Lead Belly, until she discovered, of course, Bessie Smith, and then that was all she wrote.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>On the sexism she faced in the music industry \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Once she was a public figure, the press would, of course, be amazed by her vocals, and critics would be talking about what a great singer she was. But they were often singling out her body parts and talking about her physical appearance in a way that, of course, male singers, rock singers, were really not getting that kind of attention from the press.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Also, she really had to bust down barriers to be able to have control, to do what she wanted to do, because she loved being in Big Brother and the Holding Company, for example — the band with whom she catapulted to fame — but she was such a restless spirit as far as a musician goes. She wanted to keep exploring different sounds, different kinds of music, and when she did that, it was really awful in that the boys’ club of music critics just kind of raked over the coals for dropping her band and going off on her own, and they tried to say she was selling out and going showbiz.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>On how Joplin’s experience with the “kozmic blues” connected with her alcohol use\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She was an introspective person deep down, and she didn’t like her thoughts. She was a fatalist. She had learned this kind of existential, dark philosophy from her father, who called it the “Saturday night swindle,” which was basically the idea that no matter how hard you work, how much you try to achieve your goals, you’re never really going to be happy. There’s always going to be a let-down. There’s always going to be disappointments — which was [a] pretty dark attitude when you think about that whole ’50s positivism etc., post-World War II America. Janis called this idea the “kozmic blues,” and it really did dog her.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I think between that philosophy and all the pressures of leading a band, being in the spotlight, being a star, having to always live up to her image night after night on stage and, of course, in the recording studio, she wanted something that was going to numb those kind of feelings of anxiety and fear. … She started drinking when she was a teenager. So early on, she realized that if something can kind of take you away from yourself, take you out of your head, it could be a good thing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>On Joplin’s addiction to heroin \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Janis started turning to heroin as a way to just kind of numb herself from all the pressures and the fear of what it was like being a solo artist at that point [in] time in her career. Again, she was still very much a focal point of media. There was articles about her all the time and she had developed this whole hard-drinking blues mama image that she had. So this was a secret vice of hers that she picked up. Unfortunately, heroin was pretty prevalent. No one really realized at the time, and so she gradually got addicted to heroin in 1969. …\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She tried to kick heroin a few times. She finally did almost for good in 1970, right about the time she had put together a new band which became called Full Tilt Boogie Band. And she got off heroin for a while actually by going to Brazil for Carnival, and I mean — it’s so hard to believe that she was a massive rock star, but she was hitchhiking around in Brazil for a while, totally cleaned up, really loved the feeling of being clean and back to her old self again.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sadly, she relapsed when she got back to California, and then finally she quit in the spring of 1970 and she stayed off of it for about four or five months, until tragically she relapsed again while recording \u003cem>Pearl \u003c/em>in Los Angeles, got a very strong dose. … It was much more pure than she had ever used before, and her tolerance was down. She was by herself, overdosed and died on Oct. 4, 1970. … A lot of musicians were using that drug and people didn’t realize it. But when Janis overdosed on heroin, I think it was a wake-up call — but soon sadly forgotten.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Lauren Krenzel and Seth Kelley produced and edited this interview for broadcast.

And there was this authenticity that came across. She wasn’t just standing up there singing — she was basically emptying out her guts through that amazing voice of hers, and touching her audience members like they had never been touched before. I’ve talked to people who saw her back in 1966, ’67 and they talk about it as if it was yesterday — especially women, I think, because she was able to express deep-down emotions, shame, disappointments, hurts that I think a lot of women in her audience couldn’t express themselves. And Janis was not only just singing to them; she was singing for them. And I think that kind of deep connection was very, very unique at that time.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>On the sexual energy she exuded onstage \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>You can look to two major influences that Janis had that I think affected her sexuality and the way she expressed it onstage. One was, of course, the great \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/artists/15404953/bessie-smith\">Bessie Smith,\u003c/a> whose lyrics Janis knew by heart. … She started performing Bessie Smith songs around 1963, and those kind of lyrics of sexuality, of sexual longing, sexual betrayal: Those very much informed Janis’ own songwriting and the songs that she chose to sing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The other major influence was \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/artists/15802310/otis-redding\">Otis Redding\u003c/a>. She was a huge Otis fan until the day she died, and she got to see him perform live three nights in a row at the Fillmore back in 1966, and it transformed her. He was a very sexual performer and he was able to emit this heat on stage that Janis herself was able to do through her own way of manifesting these feelings that she had while singing these songs. Janis … compared singing on stage to having an orgasm. She blew some journalists’ minds when she used that expression, but it was a very sexual experience for her.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>On the black artists that influenced her sound \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Janis took her own vocals for granted until she discovered \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2015/02/21/387566023/that-blew-my-mind-raiding-the-lead-belly-vault\">Lead Belly\u003c/a>. She just thought: Oh, anybody can sing soprano. She sang in the church choir and the glee club. But when she heard Lead Belly’s voice, she wanted to experiment with roughing up her sound and making it more raw and she was a mimic. She discovered \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/artists/97739742/odetta\">Odetta, \u003c/a>who had kind of the round tones, and she started trying to sing like Odetta on her records. But she was mostly inspired by Lead Belly, until she discovered, of course, Bessie Smith, and then that was all she wrote.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>On the sexism she faced in the music industry \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Once she was a public figure, the press would, of course, be amazed by her vocals, and critics would be talking about what a great singer she was. But they were often singling out her body parts and talking about her physical appearance in a way that, of course, male singers, rock singers, were really not getting that kind of attention from the press.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Also, she really had to bust down barriers to be able to have control, to do what she wanted to do, because she loved being in Big Brother and the Holding Company, for example — the band with whom she catapulted to fame — but she was such a restless spirit as far as a musician goes. She wanted to keep exploring different sounds, different kinds of music, and when she did that, it was really awful in that the boys’ club of music critics just kind of raked over the coals for dropping her band and going off on her own, and they tried to say she was selling out and going showbiz.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>On how Joplin’s experience with the “kozmic blues” connected with her alcohol use\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She was an introspective person deep down, and she didn’t like her thoughts. She was a fatalist. She had learned this kind of existential, dark philosophy from her father, who called it the “Saturday night swindle,” which was basically the idea that no matter how hard you work, how much you try to achieve your goals, you’re never really going to be happy. There’s always going to be a let-down. There’s always going to be disappointments — which was [a] pretty dark attitude when you think about that whole ’50s positivism etc., post-World War II America. Janis called this idea the “kozmic blues,” and it really did dog her.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I think between that philosophy and all the pressures of leading a band, being in the spotlight, being a star, having to always live up to her image night after night on stage and, of course, in the recording studio, she wanted something that was going to numb those kind of feelings of anxiety and fear. … She started drinking when she was a teenager. So early on, she realized that if something can kind of take you away from yourself, take you out of your head, it could be a good thing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>On Joplin’s addiction to heroin \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Janis started turning to heroin as a way to just kind of numb herself from all the pressures and the fear of what it was like being a solo artist at that point [in] time in her career. Again, she was still very much a focal point of media. There was articles about her all the time and she had developed this whole hard-drinking blues mama image that she had. So this was a secret vice of hers that she picked up. Unfortunately, heroin was pretty prevalent. No one really realized at the time, and so she gradually got addicted to heroin in 1969. …\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She tried to kick heroin a few times. She finally did almost for good in 1970, right about the time she had put together a new band which became called Full Tilt Boogie Band. And she got off heroin for a while actually by going to Brazil for Carnival, and I mean — it’s so hard to believe that she was a massive rock star, but she was hitchhiking around in Brazil for a while, totally cleaned up, really loved the feeling of being clean and back to her old self again.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sadly, she relapsed when she got back to California, and then finally she quit in the spring of 1970 and she stayed off of it for about four or five months, until tragically she relapsed again while recording \u003cem>Pearl \u003c/em>in Los Angeles, got a very strong dose. … It was much more pure than she had ever used before, and her tolerance was down. She was by herself, overdosed and died on Oct. 4, 1970. … A lot of musicians were using that drug and people didn’t realize it. But when Janis overdosed on heroin, I think it was a wake-up call — but soon sadly forgotten.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Lauren Krenzel and Seth Kelley produced and edited this interview for broadcast.

It didn’t matter — they were managed by Chet Helms, who also ran the Avalon, the hall with the better sound.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tall, bearded, and with hair to his shoulders before it was a hippie standard, Helms was a messiah-like figure with a religious view of music that he was hell-bent on preaching. Helms was also Joplin’s earliest supporter, and he believed in her so much that he drove to Texas to bring her back with him to San Francisco — twice.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yxdTnLL2fec\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After putting on a few shows with a little help from Bill Graham, Helms broke out on his own and, while working with a local commune called the Family Dog, secured permits to rent the Avalon Ballroom, a former dance hall on Sutter. Helms had the phrase “May the baby Jesus shut your mouth and open your mind” painted above the entrance, and went on to book a series of concerts that focused not just on music but an entire experience.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When you come to the Avalon, some of the time, you just get entertainment, but very often, you get a connection with people. In a sense, an oceanic experience of being unified with something larger than yourself, that is essentially ultimately regenerating and renewing and is what the word recreation means in its true sense,” Helms said \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/arts/2016/04/28/chet-helms-on-bringing-janis-to-s-f-starting-music-scene-1998-qa/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">during a 1998 interview\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>From \u003ca href=\"http://www.chickenonaunicycle.com/FD%20Shows.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">January 1966 to March of ’69\u003c/a>, Helms booked bands of all stripes at the Avalon, including psychedelic rock pioneers like the 13th Floor Elevators and Captain Beefheart and almost-forgotten-by-then blues musicians like Bo Diddley and Buddy Guy. He gave Moby Grape and the Steve Miller Band their first big breaks, and — like the Fillmore — every show was advertised with eye-catching, multi-colored psychedelic posters that now go for hundreds of dollars. Ask anybody who was alive back then and they’ll tell you the Avalon wasn’t appropriating the hippie culture — it was the real deal.

He then found a former pizza place in the Marina, signed a lease, and, before opening, enlisted some friends to paint a gigantic mural of the four horsemen on the wall.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Balin later said he opened the Matrix so he could start a band and have a place to play. That band turned out to be the Jefferson Airplane, and they were the first group to play the club. On opening night, a publicist convinced local jazz critic Ralph Gleason to come to the show. Gleason fell in love with the band that night, and not only did he dedicate an entire column in the \u003cem>San Francisco Chronicle\u003c/em> to them, he would go onto be the group’s biggest cheerleader.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It wasn’t long before the place started packing in all the local eccentrics, who would be treated to early performances from the Doors, Grateful Dead and the Steve Miller Blues Band in an intimate setting (the club sat about 100 people). An early Matrix regular was gonzo journalist Hunter S. Thompson, who immortalized the club in his book, \u003ci>Fear And Loathing in Las Vegas\u003c/i>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QkaJzNwQUTM\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One huge bonus for bands playing the Matrix was the high-quality recording setup used to capture performances. Almost every group’s set was put to tape, and recordings of Steppenwolf, Santana, the Great Society (Grace Slick’s first band) and the Velvet Underground were later released as live albums. But many tapes never saw the light of day, like the recording of fuzz-rock legends Blue Cheer, who played the club once as a six-piece. According to the band’s Leigh Stephens, the Matrix recording convinced the group that they needed to pare down to a trio.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We listened to [our recording] back and three guys were playing the songs one way and the other three were somewhere else,” Stephens said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tx9f0IAKYYI\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Balin’s share was eventually bought out by two of the other partners, and after a few different bookers, the club closed in 1972. Now, the building is an “ultralounge” concept, still called the Matrix, which is owned by Lt. Gov. Gavin Newsom’s company, the Plumpjack Group.

But you won’t hear much about California Hall from those in the scene, as it simply wasn’t a great place to see shows. Housed inside a 1912 building, the hall itself didn’t have great acoustics. Its lack of soundproofing made it sound “boomy,” which you can hear in a live recording of Big Brother and the Holding Company.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“That was the worst gig in town,” Jordan said. “Everybody who played there sounded like shit. I remember bands playing their first show there and breaking up afterward.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What the hall is remembered more for are non-musical activities. In 1965, the “\u003ca href=\"https://www.lgbtran.org/Exhibits/CRH/Room.aspx?RID=3\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Council on Religion and the Homosexual\u003c/a>,” which brought together gay men and religious leaders, tried to host a Mardi Gras-themed drag party at the hall to raise funds. When police caught wind of the plans, they attempted to force the hall’s owners to shut it down. When that failed, officers stood outside the hall and took pictures of attendees in an attempt to intimidate them. Some of the ministers from the event held a press conference the next day and described the police as being like the Gestapo.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RScBsb0vYOc\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>San Francisco Police attracted more bad press at California Hall decades later in 1984, when they held a graduation party for new recruits at the Rathskeller, a restaurant in the basement. During the party, a shy recruit was \u003ca href=\"http://articles.latimes.com/1985-04-15/news/mn-13956_1_police-department\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">handcuffed to a chair and made to receive a blowjob\u003c/a> from a prostitute.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still, whenever a new music scene popped up in the city, as punk did in the ’80s, its bands would hold shows at the California Hall. U2 played there in 1981.

Opened as the Haight Theater in 1910, it operated as the ‘hood’s main movie house until it closed in 1964, after two of its owners turned it into an experimental gay theater. For the crime of risqué decor and showing movies like Ed Wood’s \u003ca href=\"http://hoodline.com/2015/07/from-haight-theater-to-goodwill-the-history-of-1700-haight-street\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\u003ci>Glen or Glenda\u003c/i>, the owners were run out of town by locals in a matter of weeks\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=taoDcurT738\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Two years later, in 1966, five hippie artists had the idea to buy the theater and turn it into a performing arts space. The Grateful Dead and Country Joe played fundraising concerts at the Avalon, and as many as 20 people supposedly invested in the theater.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the neighborhood didn’t take kindly to the idea. It hadn’t been long since locals ran out the owners who’d showed a movie about a crossdresser, and now they had a hippie problem on their hands. A place for lovey-dovey hippie music was expected to make the neighborhood’s “problems” worse, and the San Francisco Police Department denied the Straight’s application for performance permits.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The buyers kept fighting. At a Permit Appeals board hearing, Dame Judith Anderson, considered one of the greatest classical stage actors of the 20th century, testified in support of the club. As the stepmom of one of the five buyers, Anderson told the board that there would be nothing wrong with hippies coming to the theater for rock ‘n’ roll, since they would be exposed to culture in the process — the owners had planned to host poetry readings and even Shakespeare. (Anderson was also clear that she wasn’t a fan of the “hippie cult,” citing their “sick faces and hideous behavior.”)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rx9Gz34BFMQ\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The owners won their permit, and by June of ’67, the Straight hosted shows for the Steve Miller Band, Clover (pre-Huey Lewis and the News) and the Grateful Dead, who in the beginning had to bill their concerts as “dancing lessons” because the owners didn’t yet have the proper permits.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>True to Anderson’s testimony, the hall hosted a wide variety of entertainment, including film screenings like the 5am premiere of the Beatles’ \u003ci>Magical Mystery Tour\u003c/i>. It’s also where Kenneth Anger had 1,500-feet of his famous film \u003ci>Lucifer Rising\u003c/i> stolen after a multimedia event called “Equinox of the Gods.” The theft left \u003ca href=\"http://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/music/features/kenneth-anger-no-rest-for-the-wicked-9185690.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Anger so distraught \u003c/a>that he announced he was dead in the pages of the \u003cem>Village Voice\u003c/em>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Straight also hosted quite a few “nude theater” events, one of which took place in the middle of a conference on runaway children. According to reports, with over 400 juveniles in attendance during a discussion on why teens run away from home, members of the Jane Lapiner Dance Group came on stage and began doing their thing, naked. Two officers accosted the performers but were stopped by the crowd. Other audience members then surrounded the dancers and escorted them off stage.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Though the theater held memorable shows, it always struggled for money. Within a year, it turned to fundraising concerts to keep the doors open. It shut down in 1969 and sat empty for over a decade before it was torn down. A Goodwill is now on Haight St. where the 1,400-seat Straight once stood.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13333483\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-13333483\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/05/The-Ark-photo-project-by-Estefany-Gonzalez-800x533.jpg\" alt=\"The lot where the Ark once stood\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/05/The-Ark-photo-project-by-Estefany-Gonzalez-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/05/The-Ark-photo-project-by-Estefany-Gonzalez-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/05/The-Ark-photo-project-by-Estefany-Gonzalez-768x512.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/05/The-Ark-photo-project-by-Estefany-Gonzalez-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/05/The-Ark-photo-project-by-Estefany-Gonzalez.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/05/The-Ark-photo-project-by-Estefany-Gonzalez-1180x787.jpg 1180w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/05/The-Ark-photo-project-by-Estefany-Gonzalez-960x640.jpg 960w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/05/The-Ark-photo-project-by-Estefany-Gonzalez-240x160.jpg 240w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/05/The-Ark-photo-project-by-Estefany-Gonzalez-375x250.jpg 375w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/05/The-Ark-photo-project-by-Estefany-Gonzalez-520x347.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">The lot where the Ark once stood \u003ccite>(Estefany Gonzalez)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003ch2>The Ark\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Built in 1916, the Charles Van Damme was a steamboat that shuttled commuters from Richmond to San Rafael for over 20 years. After being decommissioned and stripped of its parts, the old ferry sat landlocked on Sausalito’s waterfront, in the middle of the town’s thriving houseboat community, still sporting its paddlewheel.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Infamous \u003ca href=\"http://www.pressdemocrat.com/csp/mediapool/sites/PressDemocrat/News/story.csp?cid=2291971&sid=555&fid=181\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">North Bay restaurateur Juanita Musson\u003c/a> housed her late-night diner Juanita’s Galley there for three years before taking her famous clientele and irreverent hijinks to Sonoma Valley. Fred “Marti” Martinez and Frank McGinnis then bought the Van Damme, cleaned up the boat’s interior, and by 1965 they had turned it into a plush after-hours nightclub. The Ark was born.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Despite never charging a cover and paying the bands with food — breakfast, usually, since the shows either started or ended at 2am — many seminal groups came to play the Ark. Big Brother and the Holding Company, the Charlatans, and the West Coast Pop Experimental Band played there often, and in attendance would sometimes be stars like David Crosby, Bob Dylan and Jimi Hendrix. Even Otis Redding came down to the club when he was living in a Sausalito houseboat and writing his hit, “(Sittin’ On) The Dock of the Bay.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the Ark’s biggest contribution to Bay Area music was serving as the incubator for Moby Grape, the band that could’ve ruled the world were it not for bad luck and a host of issues, drugs among them. Moby Grape played their first shows at the Ark and used the boat as a rehearsal space in the daytime. Neil Young and Stephen Stills occasionally jammed with the band on stage, and Young would later say that his song “Mr. Soul” was simply a melding of two Moby Grape tracks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ffDNfpn7b4Y\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Another band that became an Ark favorite was the Sparrow, a Canadian band featuring a singer named John Kay. After the Sparrow broke up, Kay moved to Los Angeles and started Steppenwolf, the riff-tastic rockers behind the rebel anthem “Born to Be Wild.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 1968, during one of its 2-6am weekend shows, someone set fire to the Ark. Subsequent repairs forced the club to shut down for a little while, but the owners tried to keep it going for a few months more until closing it for good. When asked why decades later, \u003ca href=\"http://www.marinij.com/general-news/20060410/famed-ferrys-final-voyage\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Martinez said\u003c/a> that the muddy lot where the Ark sat clashed with the club’s fancier vibe, keeping it from fulfilling its potential, so they moved on. (Martinez then started the classy waterfront restaurant Ondine.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For years after its time as the Ark, the Charles Van Damme would serve as a center for the local houseboat community.

Throughout the ’60s, folk musicians flocked to Berkeley from around the country to clubs like the Blind Lemon, Steppenwolf and the Cabale, and for over a decade it hosted the Berkeley Folk Music Festival, a major event for the genre.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Many of Berkeley’s folk venues were short-lived. Among the shortest-lived but most beloved was the Jabberwock, a former jazz club on Telegraph Avenue. Bill Ehlert, a.k.a. the “Jolly Blue Giant,” bought the place in 1965, and Cal students and local musicians regularly packed the place for bills that read today like a Roots Music Hall of Fame; John Fahey, Doc Watson, Skip James and Ramblin’ Jack Elliott are just a few legends that graced its stage.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A roots-music aficionado from Los Angeles named Joe McDonald lived next to the Jabberwock and was a regular, playing in the house “pickup” group, the Instant Action Jug Band, with a guitarist named Barry Melton. McDonald, Melton and a few others would end up recording a song McDonald wrote in a matter of minutes called “I-Feel-Like-I’m-Fixin’-to-Die Rag.” Released on an EP, the song — a satire-laden protest of the Vietnam War — became a regional hit, so McDonald and Melton began playing at the Jabberwock as Country Joe McDonald and the Fish. Three years later, they’d play “Fixin’-To-Die” at Woodstock, with a \u003ca href=\"http://www.countryjoe.com/cheer.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">cheer heard ’round the world\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oyr7P8VCPDg\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The bands that developed in the Jabberwock seemed to embrace a dark sense of humor with their Americana. Another notable song from the Jabberwock’s scene was “Friendly Neighborhood Narco Agent” by \u003cem>Berkeley Barb\u003c/em> writer Jef Jaison. \u003ca href=\"http://www.eljefe.net/fnnafaq.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Inspired by a pot dealer\u003c/a> who ripped off some undercover police officers at a Berkeley pizza shop by selling them a large quantity of Jasmine tea for hundreds of dollars, it became of a staple on Dr. Demento’s legendary comedy music show.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zqjSG4YPIG0\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Jabberwock closed in 1967 when Ehlert couldn’t afford to bring the club up to code. Doc Watson played its final show, and the club was immortalized by Jaison in the \u003cem>Berkeley Barb\u003c/em>.

Helms had the phrase “May the baby Jesus shut your mouth and open your mind” painted above the entrance, and went on to book a series of concerts that focused not just on music but an entire experience.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When you come to the Avalon, some of the time, you just get entertainment, but very often, you get a connection with people. In a sense, an oceanic experience of being unified with something larger than yourself, that is essentially ultimately regenerating and renewing and is what the word recreation means in its true sense,” Helms said \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/arts/2016/04/28/chet-helms-on-bringing-janis-to-s-f-starting-music-scene-1998-qa/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">during a 1998 interview\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>From \u003ca href=\"http://www.chickenonaunicycle.com/FD%20Shows.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">January 1966 to March of ’69\u003c/a>, Helms booked bands of all stripes at the Avalon, including psychedelic rock pioneers like the 13th Floor Elevators and Captain Beefheart and almost-forgotten-by-then blues musicians like Bo Diddley and Buddy Guy. He gave Moby Grape and the Steve Miller Band their first big breaks, and — like the Fillmore — every show was advertised with eye-catching, multi-colored psychedelic posters that now go for hundreds of dollars. Ask anybody who was alive back then and they’ll tell you the Avalon wasn’t appropriating the hippie culture — it was the real deal.

But you won’t hear much about California Hall from those in the scene, as it simply wasn’t a great place to see shows. Housed inside a 1912 building, the hall itself didn’t have great acoustics. Its lack of soundproofing made it sound “boomy,” which you can hear in a live recording of Big Brother and the Holding Company.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“That was the worst gig in town,” Jordan said. “Everybody who played there sounded like shit. I remember bands playing their first show there and breaking up afterward.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What the hall is remembered more for are non-musical activities. In 1965, the “\u003ca href=\"https://www.lgbtran.org/Exhibits/CRH/Room.aspx?RID=3\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Council on Religion and the Homosexual\u003c/a>,” which brought together gay men and religious leaders, tried to host a Mardi Gras-themed drag party at the hall to raise funds. When police caught wind of the plans, they attempted to force the hall’s owners to shut it down. When that failed, officers stood outside the hall and took pictures of attendees in an attempt to intimidate them. Some of the ministers from the event held a press conference the next day and described the police as being like the Gestapo.\u003c/p>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutube'>\n \u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutubeInside'>\n \u003ciframe\n loading='lazy'\n class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__youtubePlayer'\n type='text/html'\n src='//www.youtube.com/embed/RScBsb0vYOc'\n title='//www.youtube.com/embed/RScBsb0vYOc'\n allowfullscreen='true'\n style='border:0;'>\u003c/iframe>\n \u003c/span>\n \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cp>San Francisco Police attracted more bad press at California Hall decades later in 1984, when they held a graduation party for new recruits at the Rathskeller, a restaurant in the basement.

Opened as the Haight Theater in 1910, it operated as the ‘hood’s main movie house until it closed in 1964, after two of its owners turned it into an experimental gay theater. For the crime of risqué decor and showing movies like Ed Wood’s \u003ca href=\"http://hoodline.com/2015/07/from-haight-theater-to-goodwill-the-history-of-1700-haight-street\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\u003ci>Glen or Glenda\u003c/i>, the owners were run out of town by locals in a matter of weeks\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutube'>\n \u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutubeInside'>\n \u003ciframe\n loading='lazy'\n class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__youtubePlayer'\n type='text/html'\n src='//www.youtube.com/embed/taoDcurT738'\n title='//www.youtube.com/embed/taoDcurT738'\n allowfullscreen='true'\n style='border:0;'>\u003c/iframe>\n \u003c/span>\n \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cp>Two years later, in 1966, five hippie artists had the idea to buy the theater and turn it into a performing arts space. The Grateful Dead and Country Joe played fundraising concerts at the Avalon, and as many as 20 people supposedly invested in the theater.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the neighborhood didn’t take kindly to the idea. It hadn’t been long since locals ran out the owners who’d showed a movie about a crossdresser, and now they had a hippie problem on their hands. A place for lovey-dovey hippie music was expected to make the neighborhood’s “problems” worse, and the San Francisco Police Department denied the Straight’s application for performance permits.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The buyers kept fighting. At a Permit Appeals board hearing, Dame Judith Anderson, considered one of the greatest classical stage actors of the 20th century, testified in support of the club. As the stepmom of one of the five buyers, Anderson told the board that there would be nothing wrong with hippies coming to the theater for rock ‘n’ roll, since they would be exposed to culture in the process — the owners had planned to host poetry readings and even Shakespeare. (Anderson was also clear that she wasn’t a fan of the “hippie cult,” citing their “sick faces and hideous behavior.”)\u003c/p>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutube'>\n \u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutubeInside'>\n \u003ciframe\n loading='lazy'\n class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__youtubePlayer'\n type='text/html'\n src='//www.youtube.com/embed/rx9Gz34BFMQ'\n title='//www.youtube.com/embed/rx9Gz34BFMQ'\n allowfullscreen='true'\n style='border:0;'>\u003c/iframe>\n \u003c/span>\n \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cp>The owners won their permit, and by June of ’67, the Straight hosted shows for the Steve Miller Band, Clover (pre-Huey Lewis and the News) and the Grateful Dead, who in the beginning had to bill their concerts as “dancing lessons” because the owners didn’t yet have the proper permits.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>True to Anderson’s testimony, the hall hosted a wide variety of entertainment, including film screenings like the 5am premiere of the Beatles’ \u003ci>Magical Mystery Tour\u003c/i>. It’s also where Kenneth Anger had 1,500-feet of his famous film \u003ci>Lucifer Rising\u003c/i> stolen after a multimedia event called “Equinox of the Gods.” The theft left \u003ca href=\"http://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/music/features/kenneth-anger-no-rest-for-the-wicked-9185690.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Anger so distraught \u003c/a>that he announced he was dead in the pages of the \u003cem>Village Voice\u003c/em>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Straight also hosted quite a few “nude theater” events, one of which took place in the middle of a conference on runaway children. According to reports, with over 400 juveniles in attendance during a discussion on why teens run away from home, members of the Jane Lapiner Dance Group came on stage and began doing their thing, naked. Two officers accosted the performers but were stopped by the crowd. Other audience members then surrounded the dancers and escorted them off stage.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Though the theater held memorable shows, it always struggled for money. Within a year, it turned to fundraising concerts to keep the doors open. It shut down in 1969 and sat empty for over a decade before it was torn down.

Fred “Marti” Martinez and Frank McGinnis then bought the Van Damme, cleaned up the boat’s interior, and by 1965 they had turned it into a plush after-hours nightclub. The Ark was born.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Despite never charging a cover and paying the bands with food — breakfast, usually, since the shows either started or ended at 2am — many seminal groups came to play the Ark. Big Brother and the Holding Company, the Charlatans, and the West Coast Pop Experimental Band played there often, and in attendance would sometimes be stars like David Crosby, Bob Dylan and Jimi Hendrix. Even Otis Redding came down to the club when he was living in a Sausalito houseboat and writing his hit, “(Sittin’ On) The Dock of the Bay.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the Ark’s biggest contribution to Bay Area music was serving as the incubator for Moby Grape, the band that could’ve ruled the world were it not for bad luck and a host of issues, drugs among them. Moby Grape played their first shows at the Ark and used the boat as a rehearsal space in the daytime. Neil Young and Stephen Stills occasionally jammed with the band on stage, and Young would later say that his song “Mr. Soul” was simply a melding of two Moby Grape tracks.\u003c/p>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutube'>\n \u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutubeInside'>\n \u003ciframe\n loading='lazy'\n class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__youtubePlayer'\n type='text/html'\n src='//www.youtube.com/embed/ffDNfpn7b4Y'\n title='//www.youtube.com/embed/ffDNfpn7b4Y'\n allowfullscreen='true'\n style='border:0;'>\u003c/iframe>\n \u003c/span>\n \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cp>Another band that became an Ark favorite was the Sparrow, a Canadian band featuring a singer named John Kay.

Subsequent repairs forced the club to shut down for a little while, but the owners tried to keep it going for a few months more until closing it for good. When asked why decades later, \u003ca href=\"http://www.marinij.com/general-news/20060410/famed-ferrys-final-voyage\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Martinez said\u003c/a> that the muddy lot where the Ark sat clashed with the club’s fancier vibe, keeping it from fulfilling its potential, so they moved on.

Bill Ehlert, a.k.a. the “Jolly Blue Giant,” bought the place in 1965, and Cal students and local musicians regularly packed the place for bills that read today like a Roots Music Hall of Fame; John Fahey, Doc Watson, Skip James and Ramblin’ Jack Elliott are just a few legends that graced its stage.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A roots-music aficionado from Los Angeles named Joe McDonald lived next to the Jabberwock and was a regular, playing in the house “pickup” group, the Instant Action Jug Band, with a guitarist named Barry Melton. McDonald, Melton and a few others would end up recording a song McDonald wrote in a matter of minutes called “I-Feel-Like-I’m-Fixin’-to-Die Rag.” Released on an EP, the song — a satire-laden protest of the Vietnam War — became a regional hit, so McDonald and Melton began playing at the Jabberwock as Country Joe McDonald and the Fish. Three years later, they’d play “Fixin’-To-Die” at Woodstock, with a \u003ca href=\"http://www.countryjoe.com/cheer.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">cheer heard ’round the world\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutube'>\n \u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutubeInside'>\n \u003ciframe\n loading='lazy'\n class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__youtubePlayer'\n type='text/html'\n src='//www.youtube.com/embed/oyr7P8VCPDg'\n title='//www.youtube.com/embed/oyr7P8VCPDg'\n allowfullscreen='true'\n style='border:0;'>\u003c/iframe>\n \u003c/span>\n \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cp>The bands that developed in the Jabberwock seemed to embrace a dark sense of humor with their Americana.

Really. In the exhibition itself, this shameful “urban renewal” in the Fillmore bears no mention.

If it’s intended to be a summation, a nod to the era’s enduring legacy and a connecting thread to the present, the result is tepid at best—especially with the wall text’s vague rah-rah claim that “fifty years later, government policies resulting from such interventions render a way of life in the West that would have been unimaginable to all but the surest of sixties visionaries.” This final gallery would have benefited from a few more pieces and a lot more breathing room, especially considering the overwhelming whiteness and maleness of the characters we’ve been taught to celebrate from this time period in San Francisco’s history—none of whom receive substantial critique in the preceding rooms.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13042305\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1200px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-13042305\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/04/L16_56_15_1_V1_8_1200.jpg\" alt=\"Birgitta Bjerke (100% Birgitta), 'Pioneer,' ca. 1972-1973.\" width=\"1200\" height=\"959\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/04/L16_56_15_1_V1_8_1200.jpg 1200w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/04/L16_56_15_1_V1_8_1200-160x128.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/04/L16_56_15_1_V1_8_1200-800x639.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/04/L16_56_15_1_V1_8_1200-768x614.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/04/L16_56_15_1_V1_8_1200-1020x815.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/04/L16_56_15_1_V1_8_1200-1180x943.jpg 1180w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/04/L16_56_15_1_V1_8_1200-960x767.jpg 960w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/04/L16_56_15_1_V1_8_1200-240x192.jpg 240w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/04/L16_56_15_1_V1_8_1200-375x300.jpg 375w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/04/L16_56_15_1_V1_8_1200-520x416.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Birgitta Bjerke (100% Birgitta), ‘Pioneer,’ ca. 1972-1973. \u003ccite>(Courtesy of FAMSF)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>The Panthers, in particular—who had, by the summer of 1967, opened a storefront in Oakland, published their Ten-Point Program, and garnered national attention for entering the California State Assembly carrying guns to protest the Mulford Act—are represented only by a handful of Ruth Marion Baruch and Pirkle Jones photographs, unless we missed something.

Sure, the Grateful Dead and Jefferson Airplane have come to represent not just a musical moment but a tribe, a lifestyle. Can we discuss what came after? What bands they influenced, or even what they stood for? Where can their nonconformist message still be felt in present-day San Francisco, where capitalism run amok has made it difficult if not impossible for artists to survive? Put bluntly: \u003cem>Why are we still talking about this\u003c/em>?

Really. In the exhibition itself, this shameful “urban renewal” in the Fillmore bears no mention. (Also in the catalog but not in the show: the draft-dodging origins of tie-dye at the Haight’s Free Store, explored in Detour’s immersive \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/arts/2016/01/13/haight-ashbury-peter-coyote-tour/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Haight-Ashbury Walking Tour\u003c/a>.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The final gallery, before the exhibition empties into \u003ci>The Summer of Love Experience\u003c/i> gift shop, tries to sum up the politics of the era in a grab-bag of issues: the Black Panthers, the Pill, Vietnam War protests, draft resistance, sex positivity. If it’s intended to be a summation, a nod to the era’s enduring legacy and a connecting thread to the present, the result is tepid at best—especially with the wall text’s vague rah-rah claim that “fifty years later, government policies resulting from such interventions render a way of life in the West that would have been unimaginable to all but the surest of sixties visionaries.” This final gallery would have benefited from a few more pieces and a lot more breathing room, especially considering the overwhelming whiteness and maleness of the characters we’ve been taught to celebrate from this time period in San Francisco’s history—none of whom receive substantial critique in the preceding rooms.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13042305\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1200px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-13042305\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/04/L16_56_15_1_V1_8_1200.jpg\" alt=\"Birgitta Bjerke (100% Birgitta), 'Pioneer,' ca. 1972-1973.\" width=\"1200\" height=\"959\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/04/L16_56_15_1_V1_8_1200.jpg 1200w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/04/L16_56_15_1_V1_8_1200-160x128.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/04/L16_56_15_1_V1_8_1200-800x639.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/04/L16_56_15_1_V1_8_1200-768x614.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/04/L16_56_15_1_V1_8_1200-1020x815.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/04/L16_56_15_1_V1_8_1200-1180x943.jpg 1180w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/04/L16_56_15_1_V1_8_1200-960x767.jpg 960w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/04/L16_56_15_1_V1_8_1200-240x192.jpg 240w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/04/L16_56_15_1_V1_8_1200-375x300.jpg 375w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/04/L16_56_15_1_V1_8_1200-520x416.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Birgitta Bjerke (100% Birgitta), ‘Pioneer,’ ca. 1972-1973. \u003ccite>(Courtesy of FAMSF)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>The Panthers, in particular—who had, by the summer of 1967, opened a storefront in Oakland, published their Ten-Point Program, and garnered national attention for entering the California State Assembly carrying guns to protest the Mulford Act—are represented only by a handful of Ruth Marion Baruch and Pirkle Jones photographs, unless we missed something.

Amidst all the free love, loud music, ample drugs and countercultural ideas, the era changed popular culture around the world. They called it the Summer of Love.\r\n\r\nThis summer, on its 50th anniversary, KQED Arts examines the legacy of the Summer of Love and its influence in San Francisco and beyond. Was it all, as Neil Young once sang, a hippie dream? How did the era's revolutionary ideas impact politics, technology, music and culture as we know it today? Who are the unsung figures behind the scenes, whose stories have gone untold?\r\n\r\nIn a series of stories, profiles, interviews and videos, you'll come to understand this oft-romanticized time in a whole new way. Offered as a complement to the many events, exhibits and programming throughout the city for the Summer of Love's 50th Anniversary, KQED Arts' coverage will run through July.","featImg":"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/2/2017/05/Summer-of-Love-1180x177.jpg","headData":{"title":"Summer of Love and its Impact on San Francisco | KQED","description":"Celebrate
