Jann Wenner, Grace Slick, David Wild, Leonard Steinhorn, Tom Wolfe, Douglas Brinkley, Tom Hanks, and others reflect on how figures and movements like beatniks, Haight-Ashbury, Andy Warhol, Timothy Leary, hippies, and Hell’s Angels emerged as defining elements of the counterculture, leaving a lasting impact that continues to influence society today.
