OCEANS OF TRUTH IN THE SUMMER OF LOVE
It’s 1967 in San Francisco. Phoebe Noguchi works as a freelance photographer; Janey Cragg plays electric piano in an avant-garde jazz quartet.
When they meet, a flame is kindled. And then… things start to happen.

I just read about the concentration camp they’re building in Florida—the one they call Alligator Alcatraz.

On that note, here’s “The Hollow Throne”
