       It was an interesting experiment, while it lasted. (See last month's posting of Jan. 12th.) And Jim Marshall was the perfect photojournalist to document it in pictures. As I look at my old copy of 'Monterey Pop' (the book Joel Selvin did with Jim Marshall back in 1992), I'm very happy Selvin did this book as well. I'm a little at a loss for words as the memories rush back. This is a wonderful hard-cover, beautifully presented by the Jim Marshall Team, and should be sitting in every Library and Educational Institution in the country. I think 'The Haight: Love, Rock, Revolution', as a Historical Document, will be studied and marvelled at, long past our lifetimes; well into the next century. And Dear Reader, if you decide to purchase this book, it's worth every cent.
