Richard Goldstein / ANOTHER LITTLE PIECE OF MY HEART: My Life of Rock and Revolution in the 60s / in conversation with Barry Walters


ANOTHER LITTLE PIECE OF MY HEART is a memoir by Richard Goldstein who worked as a music journalist for The Village Voice throughout the 1960s. From his unique position interviewing rock legends and  revolutionaries, Goldstein documented the full arc of the counterculture movement-- music, politics, drugs, creativity, and sexual freedom. From spending a night at the Grateful Dead House at 710 Ashbury, to befriending Andy Warhol, and dropping acid with the Beach Boys, to witnessing Martin Luther King’s “I Have a Dream” speech, Goldstein’s life and career captured the most revolutionary decade in US history.
