A Taste of Summer

Continuing Radio 2's season devoted to the music of the Sixties and coinciding with the station's 40th birthday on 30 September, Stuart Maconie explores a critical musical moment - 1967's so-called Summer of Love - when the free-spirited, florally abundant hippy aspects of San Francisco youth imbibed mainstream popular culture, with Jefferson Airplane and the Grateful Dead as musical ambassadors. Those who were there claim that the 1967 "Summer of Love" was coined as a consumer-friendly packaging of something already experienced in 1966 or before. Either way, Radio 2 celebrates its rich legacy.
