The roots of the counter-culture and acid rock are in San Francisco and Austin in 1965.
Laurel Canyon was a year behind top acid-rock bands like The Jefferson Airplane, The Grateful Dead, Quicksilver Messenger Service, Big Brother and the Holding Company (SF), and The 13th Floor Elevators (Austin).
