“A Day in the Life” At The Henry Miller Library
By Kimberly Kradel
The Henry Miller Library is having a book signing with Robert Greenfield, the author of the classics S.T.P.: A Journey through America with the Rolling Stones and Exile on Main St.: A Season in Hell with the Rolling Stones, as well as author of the critically acclaimed biographies of rock promoter Bill Graham, Grateful Dead lead guitarist Jerry Garcia, and acid guru Timothy Leary. Robert is also the former editor of the London bureau of Rolling Stone magazine.
In his new book A Day in the Life: One Family, the Beautiful People, and the End of the 60s, Greenfield delves into the world of 1960s upper class London, charting the disintegration of a young couple who lost themselves in drugs, free love, and unfulfilled dreams—a couple who represented a generation in transition. Their lifestyle threw them into a glamorous set with icons like Keith Richards, Anita Pallenberg, Mick Jagger, Eric Clapton, George Harrison, and Jimi Hendrix, but as they gravitated toward different aspects of the decade, they grew drastically—and dangerously—apart.
There will be music, drinks and snacks served up during the afternoon.

Quote of the Moment
Your city is remarkable not only for its beauty. It is also, of all the cities in the United States, the one whose name, the world over, conjures up the most visions and more than any other, incites one to dream.
