Weird Scenes Inside the Canyon: Laurel Canyon, Covert Ops & the Dark Heart of the Hippie Dream by David McGowan

4.0

This book is a history of sorts about the 60s and 70s music/movie scene centering in and around Laurel Canyon and the Hollywood Hills in LA. The author is a noted conspiracy theorist yet this book seems well-researched and is certainly very readable. The eeriest connection throughout is that there appears to be almost this "six degrees of Charles Manson" with everyone mentioned. The occult/hippie/mass murder leader was everywhere.
