About this listen

Peggy Caserta, founder of the famous Haight-Ashbury hippie boutique Mnasidika and lover and girlfriend of Janis Joplin, was a Louisiana homecoming queen turned airsick stewardess who eventually landed in 1960s San Francisco and set up shop. Her store was a hang-out for The Grateful Dead and Big Brother and the Holding Company; it was where Wes Wilson’s posters hung, where Bill Graham sold concert tickets, and where Owsley’s LSD was enjoyed.

Caserta’s world of psychedelic peace, love, LSD, and rock kaleidoscoped into bereavement, heroin addiction, prison, and desperation. She was hated, betrayed, and self-exiled, and after many, many years has recovered, returning home to the bayou to care for her mother with dementia.

Now Caserta is giving a new generation an inside look into a revolution—both countercultural and personal—in her new memoir. It’s the celebration of a transitional time in history and an attempt at redemption.

Good book

Aside from the fact that the reader sounded a lot like Bobby Hill than she did Janis, I enjoyed this book.

Funny, sad and historic!

I am a huge Janis Joplin fan so naturally this book caught my attention. While this book does inform about Janis and Haight-Ashbury it is about Caserta’s life. Peggy used humor to convey the stories from her wild life. She gives a raw look into addiction, prison, relationships, financial hardship and caring for an aging mother. I thought this piece was great!

Good narrative and narrator

This story took me back. Authentic, honest. The narrator did a good job, too. Glad I bought this book.

What a ride!

What a wild ride! I didn't want to like this one at the beginning. But her story just drew me in and I finished it in a matter of days. Worth the read, for sure, if you're curious about life in the hippie sixties and beyond.
