DO YOU REMEMBER
THE SUMMER OF LOVE?
OR WISH YOU COULD?
TAKE A TRIP BACK IN TIME!
Dealer opens as the Summer of Love flowered in 1967 and the counter-culture revolution erupted across the planet. Long-haired, pot-smoking hippies infested major cities, college campuses, and small towns with raucous music and a social consciousness that exploded into the anti-war movement. Political and social norms were trounced by a generation devoted to creating a new reality.
A brash young entrepreneur recognized the potential and built a robust and illicit chain, importing from the Caribbean, South America, the Middle East, and Asia to supply a budding market from coast to coast.
Companion and backstory to Stiller’s novel Dealer, Peachtree traces the group’s raucous rise from struggling bar band to the verge of stardom through unrestrained devotion to the mystical trinity of sex, drugs, and Rock-n-Roll.
Peachtree’s soundtrack reflects the bigotry, corruption, antiwar riots, international dealers, bad trips, and grand illusions behind the spectacular performances that primed social revolution to explode into the tumultuous upheaval of the late ‘60’s.
As they used to say, "If you remember it, you weren't really there."
