Anniversary of The Six Gallery Reading

A major anniversary today – the  anniversary of the legendary 6 Gallery reading – and a reminder of a major new book A Remarkable Collection of Angels, David S Wills‘ deeply researched definitive history of the event.  (See Simon Warner’s interview with Wills and Jonah Raskin‘s review of the book in Rock and The Beat Generation – here)

Wills is in town (San Francisco) on a rare visit from his home base in Cambodia and will be speaking  6 p.m.  tonight at The  Counterculture Museum. If you’re anywhere close by, don’t miss him
