Rock and roll music took off in the 1960s, thanks in part to the West Coast counterculture movement. While it produced good things with its focus on love, peace and freedom, it has a decidedly dark side also. As it turns out, the 1960s music scene in Los Angeles (based in Laurel Canyon) was seeded by the CIA and Military, and was home to lots of drugs and murder. Did you know that many 60s superstars like Jim Morrison (The Doors), Jackson Browne, Frank Zappa, David Crosby and Stephen Stills all came from military families? Learn about the strange but true story of the Hippie Generation and the controlled movement of Rock and Roll.
