Its five main chapters bear the names of familiar musical categories: 'Folk,' 'Rock,' 'Jazz,' 'Avant-Garde,' 'Classical.' But the book's real subject matter--treated at length in the Prologue and the Epilogue but spread throughout all that comes between--is the Sixties' tangled mess of hopes and frustrations, of hungers as much for self-identity as for self-indulgence, of crises of conscience that bothered Americans of almost all ages and regardless of political persuasion.}, doi = {https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-030-96694-2}, recid = {1446302}, pages = {1 online resource}, }
