Engebråten, Linda (2010). "1967: a year in the life of The Beatles: history, subjectivity, music". Masteroppgave. University of Oslo Library. hdl: 10852/26951. We wanted to signal that this was the end of it, to stay where you are, bring the revolution to where you live and don't come here because it's over and done with. [43] In Manhattan, near the Greenwich Village neighborhood, during a concert in Tompkins Square Park on Memorial Day of 1967, some police officers asked for the music's volume to be reduced. [4] In response, some people in the crowd threw various objects, and 38 arrests ensued. [4] A debate about the "threat of the hippie" ensued between Mayor John Lindsay and Police Commissioner Howard R. Leary. [4] After this event, Allan Katzman, the editor of the East Village Other, predicted that 50,000 hippies would enter the area for the summer. [4] [34] California [ edit ]

Acid house is extraordinary today in part because of how recent it is. The revolution still feels palpable, and the Second Summer Of Love remains a vivid memory for many of those who lived through it. But even for those too young to have experienced 1988, the impact of the scene is evident throughout contemporary culture. Acid house raves gave birth to the free party culture; the genre bled heavily into Berlin techno; the visual signifiers of the scene are in evidence from street style to the catwalk. But, at heart, acid house remains about the music – about virtuosic manipulation of machines; about almost imperceptible changes in rhythm or timbre writ large through bludgeoning repetition; about huge numbers of people motivated by a search for ecstatic experience through sound, by a search for transcendence in a bleak landscape of political catastrophe and social entropy. Acid house was a salve, a sound that unified a fractured culture around an extraordinary, alien music.

The lead single, " Mary's Prayer", issued in the spring, was initially unsuccessful in the United Kingdom, missing the official UK Top 75 and peaking at number 86. However the US release of "Mary's Prayer" that summer afforded Danny Wilson a surprise US Top 40 hit, peaking at number 23 on the Billboard Hot 100. The band toured the United States in the autumn of 1987, supporting Simply Red and proving successful with that group's fans. [4] The term "Summer of Love" originated with the formation of the Council for the Summer of Love during the spring of 1967 as a response to the convergence of young people on the Haight-Ashbury district. The council was composed of the Family Dog hippie commune, The Straight Theatre, The Diggers, The San Francisco Oracle, and approximately 25 other people, who sought to alleviate some of the problems anticipated from the influx of young people expected during the summer. The council also assisted the Free Clinic and organized housing, food, sanitation, music and arts, along with maintaining coordination with local churches and other social groups.
