Episode 127: Psychedelia Comes Down, Hangs Around and Gets Reinvented
About this episode
For one last time, we’re delving into the depths of our expanded minds to talk about the impact of psychedelia on popular culture. We may have been at the bar a bit too long getting our minds…expanded. We have a lot to talk about today as we discuss what happened with psychedelia after The Summer of Love and Woodstock.
(Spoiler alert: Nothing like going mainstream to kill a counterculture style.)
So help us out by grabbing a couple of Flaming Unicorns as we come back down to earth, right here in the bar.
