Astral Weeks: A Secret History of 1968, with Ryan Walsh (Ep70)

HUB History - Our Favorite Stories from Boston History - A podcast by HUB History

This week, Ryan Walsh joins us to discuss Boston in 1968, the James Brown concert that might have prevented a riot, a cult that took over Roxbury’s Fort Hill, the strange history of LSD in our city, and a musical movement called the Bosstown Sound.  Most of all, though, we will discuss his book Astral Weeks, a Secret History of 1968 and the Van Morrison record that inspired it.
