Bivens paved the way for the female rockers who came after her, such asGrace Slick and Linda Ronstadt. Folksinger Burgan, with assistance from Rifkin, recounts his life as a founding member of the San Francisco electro-folk band We Five ('You Were on My Mind'). It integrates stories of growth and maturity of a group of musicians from teens through adulthood with tales of drugs, religion, relationships, love, and discrimination as seen through Burgan’s eyes.

This is on of the best books ever written about the San Francisco music scene and probably the best ever written about the SF folk music scene. This book takes me back.
