It’s time, friends, to take a long, strange trip to the epicenter of hippiedom. A place where the squares are not allowed to tread. Where the incense is lit: Haight-Ashbury. In episode 18 of our testament to psychedelic music This Pill Makes You Small, we tune in, turn on and drop out on the corner of Haight-Ashbury in 1967. The Summer of Love is in full gear as we spin tunes from bands living in the neighborhood that started the scene. Put flowers in your hair and hope the record deal comes through to pay the rent on your old Victorian house.
