• "Jefferson Airplane, the most successful and influential rock bank to emerge from San Francisco during the 1960s, created the sound of a generation. Their smash hits "Somebody to Love" and "White Rabbit" provided the soundtrack to the Summer of Love, virtually inventing the era’s signature pulsating psychedelic music, and came to personify the decade’s radical counterculture. Their appearances at the landmark Monterey Pop, Woodstock, and Altamont rock festivals - the only band to play at all three - placed them on the front lines during one of the most exciting, tumultuous times in American history. Their confrontational lyrics and alternative lifestyles often cast them as "outlaws in the eyes of America." Jefferson Airplane didn’t just dominate American popular culture at the peak of the ’60s; they transformed it." "Got a Revolution! is the first full-length biography ever written about Jefferson Airplane. Jeff Tamarkin, veteran music writer and historian, has worked closely with the former members of Jefferson Airplane for more than a decade and penned more than twenty-five Airplane-related album liner notes. Those who lived it tell the story: the band members, their families, friends, lovers, crew members, and fellow musicians. The book’s all-star cast includes fellow rock legends David Crosby, Janis Joplin, Donovan, the Grateful Dead, the Rolling Stones, and Paul McCartney, to such larger-than-life cultural figures as Robert F. Kennedy, Bill Graham, Abbie Hoffman, the Hell’s Angels, and even Richard Nixon. It’s a tale of complex people with complex relationships living under the spotlight during a complex time."–BOOK JACKET
