Born To Be Wild
Tuesday, February 19, 7:00 p.m.
San Francisco had Haight-Ashbury and Chicago had Wells Street in Old Town. How did the counterculture take root in Chicago and why was it so important? How did participants achieve a balance between determined political activism and a lifestyle of peace, love, and rock 'n' roll? Museum historian Russell Lewis will be joined by Abe Peck, 60s expert and former editor for The Chicago Seed Magazine and Bonnie Koloc, a female pioneer of the 60s folk music scene and a staple at the Earl of Old Town and other area venues.
Cost: $10; $8 members.
Dance to the Music
Tuesday, February 26, 7:00 p.m.
Terri Hemmert, music expert and WXRT DJ, leads a discussion about how the music of 1968 affected the culture and political movement of the times. The evening concludes with a 90-minute live concert featuring music from 1968 performed by the Captain Blood Orchestra.
Cost: $15; $12 members.
