En savoir plus sur le livre
Max's Kansas City, an all-in-one restaurant-bar-nightclub, opened its doors in December 1965 at 213 Park Avenue South, in Manhattan, just as American popular culture was poised on the brink of a seismic shift whose aftershocks continue to reverberate. Max's quickly became the place to be in the nexus of underground life where art, sex, drugs, rock & roll, & superstars ignited a cultural conflagration. Everyone who was anyone was there: Mick Jagger, Faye Dunaway, John Lennon, Jim Morrison, Julie Christie, Warren Beatty, Patti Smith, Allen Ginsberg, Tennessee Williams, Robert Mapplethorpe, Yoko Ono, Bob Dylan, Jane Fonda-and the list goes on & on. For fifteen years, until it finally closed its doors in 1981, "Max's," as William S. Burroughs said, "was at the intersection of everything." High on Rebellion celebrates Max's with over 200 never-before-published black-and-white photographs of face after famous face, profiles, memorabilia, & hundreds of personal reminiscences & testimonials. Together these make for a tribute to a place that was like no other, where the creative chemistry of thousands of artists, film-makers, musicians, writers, poets, photographers, models, movie stars, & socialites combusted into the longest-running party in history-a crucible for the culture & history of an era.
