Description: A memoir by a member of the Incredible String Band that charts a journey from hippie utopia to post - Woodstock implosion. Between 1967 and 1971 Rose Simpson lived with the Incredible String Band (Mike Heron Robin Williamson and Licorice Mc Kechnie) morphing from English student to West Coast hippie and finally bassist in leathers. The band's image adorned psychedelic posters and its music was the theme song for an alternative lifestyle. Rose and partner Mike Heron believed in and lived a naive vision of utopia in Scotland. But they were also a band on tour enjoying the thrills of that life. They were at the center of Swinging London and at the Chelsea Hotel with Andy Warhol's superstars. They shared stages with rock idols and played at Woodstock in 1969. Rose and fellow ISB member Licorice were hippie pin - ups while Heron and Robin Williamson the seers and prophets of a new world. Through a haze of incense and marijuana they played out their Arcadian dreams on stages brilliant with the colors of clothes light - shows rugs cushions and exotic instruments. Like most utopias the ISB's imploded. Never seeing herself as a professional musician Rose retained an outsider's detachment even while living the life of a hippie chick. Her memoir gives a voice to those flower - wreathed girls whose photographs have become symbols of the psychedelic sixties.
