Same here except I don't feel the same about the hippies, they were not all cut out of the same cloth. I haven't read McGowan's book but I'm well aware of everything in it. The music and the talent behind it was undeniable. Jim Morrison repeatedly disowned his parents by saying they had died. I don't consider most of the music then as subversive, they were mostly truth seekers trying to subvert the lying assassination govt we had inherited. Then came the backlash aka Manson and the Rap Industry. Kris K was a pos, ask Cathy O'Brien.
Many of those musicians didn't sing on the albums released of their music - they had other singers/musicians on the albums, that's in the Laurel Canyon book. Nor do these musicians come across as good, innocent folks either. Just for one, they knew something was going on with Manson and many of them had known him but they all refused to talk.
The point is - and you'd see this if you read it - and it's available as an article online, not a whole book - is that this was not an organic, grass-roots music revolution. It was completely engineered, along with the entire culture. I get it though, it's too much for most people to be able to take in. But its purpose was to break up the American family unit, and it did that quite well. It set youth against parents from then on.
Adolescents always rebel against their parents and act out. It was a happy coincidence that rock music became such a positive force in the late sixties and early seventies.
Hedonism is inherently subversive since it invokes the Government to come in and pick up the pieces. Morrison was doing the Will of the Deep State whether he knew it or not. Adolescents always do.
"Thus, a good man, though a slave, is free; but a wicked man, though a king, is a slave. For he serves, not one man alone, but, what is worse, as many masters as he has vices." - St. Augustine, City of God
"Libido Dominandi shows how sexual liberation was from its inception a form of control.
. . .
Aldous Huxley wrote in his preface to the 1946 edition of Brave New World that ‘as political and economic freedom diminishes, sexual freedom tends compensatingly to increase.’
(Libido Dominandi) explains how the rhetoric of sexual freedom was used to engineer a system of covert political and social control. Over the course of the two-hundred-year span covered by this book, the development of technologies of communication, reproduction, and psychic control - including psychotherapy, behaviorism, advertising, sensitivity training, pornography, and plain old blackmail - allowed the Enlightenment and its heirs to turn Augustine's insight on its head and create masters out of men's vices. Libido Dominandi is the story of how that happened."
While Jim's lifestyle may have been considered hedonistic I don't believe he literally was. Everything was changing so quickly then. He had a very high IQ and basically no fatherly role model or guidance to support him. I actually met Jim at one of his concerts.
He was about as hedonistic as it gets, according to bandmates, lovers and friends. But he wasn't much different than any of the other hedonists, and he became a big drunk/druggie/addict, so that ruined his art anyway.
