Reviews
As a young woman coming of age in the 60's, I grew up in the era of flower children, coffee-houses, beatnik jazz, poetry, sit-in's, love-in's, protests, and the legendary folk music of Bob Dylan and Joan Baez. Those where the days of youth and splendor. "Positively 4th Street" is an in-depth look at the magic of the moment, the beat of the music, the Bohemian culture of the day, and the triumphs and tragedies of a unique breed of individuals breaking ground from Greenwich Village to Canada's west coast. Share the wild adventure, golden opportunities, steamy affairs, hot passion and stone cold deceit in the lives of four extremely gifted and talented people - Bob Dylan, Joan Baez, Mimi Baez Farina and Richard Farina. The music was, indeed, a sign of the times, and "the times they were a-changing." It was an unparalleled era when love, peace and individuality ruled supreme, and freedom was part of the traditional dream. Take a trip down memory lane back to this nostalgic era revisited through the pages of a well-written and fascinating book. "Positively 4th Street" is....positively the best!
