Many of the musicians of the era were children of military intelligence. Many didn't know how to play their instruments. Smack dab in the middle of the valley was a CIA movie studio.
The idea was to make the opposition to the war come initially from long-haired drug-loving hippies. Therefore, your typical American mom and dads would associate being anti-war with being a drugged-up long hair unkempt loser. This is how they kept their war going for so long.
This book is about the big names. Jim Morrison, Frank Zappa, Jimi Hendrix, Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young.

Interesting that you brought up the Vietnam War and Hippies
