Join Robyn Hitchcock and Harold Lepidus live in Boston for a lively conversation about Hitchcock's new memoir, 1967: HOW I GOT THERE AND WHY I NEVER LEFT.
The book explores how that pivotal slice of time tastes to a bright, obsessive-compulsive boy who is shipped off to a hothouse academic boarding school as he reaches the age of thirteen—just as Bob Dylan’s Highway 61 Revisited starts to bite, and the Beatles’s Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band explodes.
When he arrives in January 1966, Robyn Hitchcock is still a boy pining for the comforts of home and his family’s loving au pair, Teresa. By December 1967, he’s mutated into a 6’2″ tall rabid Bob Dylan fan, whose two ambitions in life are to get really high and fly to Nashville.
