A mind-expanding dive into a lost chapter of 1968, featuring the famous and forgotten: Van Morrison, folkie-turned-cult-leader Mel Lyman, Timothy Leary, James Brown, and many more

Van Morrison's Astral Weeks is an iconic rock album shrouded in legend, a masterpiece that has touched generations of listeners and influenced everyone from Bruce Springsteen to Martin Scorsese. In his first book, acclaimed musician and journalist Ryan H. Walsh unearths the album's fascinating backstory--along with the untold secrets of the time and place that birthed it: Boston 1968.

On the 50th anniversary of that tumultuous year, Walsh's book follows a criss-crossing cast of musicians and visionaries, artists and hippie entrepreneurs, from a young Tufts English professor who walks into a job as a host for TV's wildest show (one episode required two sets, each tuned to a different channel) to the mystically inclined owner of radio station WBCN, who believed he was the reincarnation of a scientist from Atlantis. Most penetratingly powerful of all is Mel Lyman, the folk-music star who decided he was God, then controlled the lives of his many followers via acid, astrology, and an underground newspaper called Avatar.

A mesmerizing group of boldface names pops to life in Astral Weeks: James Brown quells tensions the night after Martin Luther King, Jr. is assassinated; the real-life crimes of the Boston Strangler come to the movie screen via Tony Curtis; Howard Zinn testifies for Avatar in the courtroom. From life-changing concerts and chilling crimes, to acid experiments and film shoots, Astral Weeks is the secret, wild history of a unique time and place.

Simple Fix for Tight or Hard-to-Reach Outlets
This outlet extender works great for making tight or hard-to-reach outlets easier to use. It plugs in securely and gives you better access without having to struggle behind furniture. It’s simple, does exactly what it’s supposed to, and feels solid once plugged in. The only thing is it adds a little extra bulk, so space can still be tight depending on your setup. Overall, a convenient and practical solution for everyday use.

Exelent choice no more hinging cables
I recently purchased the EZ Outlet Electrical Outlet Extender, and it has been a total game-changer for my home. I have a few outlets behind furniture and in tight corners that are almost impossible to use, and this product solved that problem instantly. The extender itself feels very sturdy and well-made. The most useful feature is the flexible, gooseneck-like arm that lets you bend the outlet away from the wall. This allowed me to easily plug in my lamp and a few other devices that were previously unreachable. I also love the extra ports. The two regular AC outlets, a USB-A port, and a USB-C port are incredibly convenient. It's great to be able to charge my phone and my laptop from the same spot without needing a separate charging block. The USB-C port is particularly fast, which is a huge bonus. Setup was as easy as plugging it in. There's no complicated wiring or anything to deal with. It's a simple, elegant solution that works exactly as advertised. If you have any hard-to-reach outlets in your home, I highly recommend this product. It's well worth the investment.

Looks good, adjustability is super nice
This is attractive (for what it is) and is working well, I really like the adjustability - the only downside so far is that the USB ports are on the underside where I'm using it, so are basically unusable on a regular basis unless you want to leave a cable dangling from it, tho if you had it run up or to the right from the outlet, that wouldn't be a factor.

Its Quality
I absolutely love this! It’s a life changer for me as I’m always pulling the cord out from the wall in the attempt to stretch it. This now sits plug now sits perfectly between my bed and the wall. Excellent quality, easy to plug in and makes my life easier!
