Abstract
San Francisco dominates the city imaging literature for many reason. One reason involves a very special street and musical heritage. The Haight-Ashbury district in the 1960s was the home and hub for the ‘Summer of Love.’ How this sonic and political history has travelled through the decades remains a focus for Nadine Caouette’s research, demonstrating the instability and conflictual nature of popular music and popular memory.
