1966
1966, One of three guitars in my series on Counterculture Literature, speaking to how what we read informs, enlightens, and even corrupts us. Drawing on imagery from my youth, here you see the wholesome Boy Scouts Handbook, overlaid by the corrupting influence of MAD magazine, surrounded by the Beatles Revolver album art as their music turned from love songs to spiritual grooviness. The headstock features the watchful eye of Jim Morrison, taken from the cover of their debut album, also in 1966.
