About Love
Among all the hippies who flew their freak flags in the psychedelic ’60s, few soared higher than the one called Love. The group’s heyday didn’t last much longer than a high-school romance, but during an intense year and a half, from May 1966 to Christmas 1967, Love released three LPs that radiated a stoned-beautiful glory.
At the center of this vortex was the inscrutable presence of Arthur Lee. Born in Memphis and raised in Los Angeles, Lee was a street legend among 1960s Angeleno hipsters, famed as much for his habit of wearing a single moccasin and diamond-shaped granny glasses, as for his fierce, punkish stage presence. By mid-1965, Lee had conscripted a collective of like-minded souls (most notably, guitarist/songwriter and former Byrds roadie Bryan MacLean), named them Love, and began blowing minds from the stages of fabled L.A. ’60s clubs Brave New World and Bido Lito’s.
