You may not have heard of Barry Miles - his name, I suspect, resonates only with those of a certain beardy-weirdy age and disposition - but you will know his friends. Paul and Jane, Mick and Marianne, Ginsberg, Bukowski, Timothy Leary - they are all here, crammed on the page with such enthusiasm that, sometimes, the narrative reads like a kind of wide-eyed, spliffed-out Jennifer's Diary, just so many late nights and velvet flares.
At the beginning of the sixties Barry Miles was at art school in Cheltenham; at the end he was running the Beatles' Zapple label and living in New York's legendary Chelsea Hotel. This is the story of what happened in between. In the Sixties is a memoir by one of the key figures of the British counterculture. A friend of Ginsberg and Corso, Miles helped to organise the 1965 Albert Hall poetry reading. He co-founded and ran the Indica Bookshop, the command centre for the London underground scene, and he published Europe's first underground newspaper, International Times (IT), from Indica's basement. Miles' partners in Indica were John Dunbar, then married to Marianne Faithfull, and Peter Asher. Through Asher, Miles became closely involved with the Beatles, particularly Paul McCartney, and In the Sixties is full of intimate glimpses of the Beatles at work and play. Other musicians who appear in its pages include the Rolling Stones, the Pink Floyd, Leonard Cohen and Frank Zappa. But Miles' greatest love is for the written word and his book includes memorable portraits of Allen Ginsberg, William Burroughs, Charles Olson, Richard Brautigan and Charles Bukowski.
