Tony Bucher

Remembering 1968: Rated XXX – The Underground Press in the City of Love

Venue: Sawmills Studio - Meath County Council Stage

A regular visitor to Kells since 2016, Berkeley historian Tony Bucher will cast his eye over the radical, subversive underground press that thrived in the Bay Area in the 1960s and ‘70s. News sheets heralding street rebellions, obscene comics, and magazines espousing the ‘new journalism’ grew alongside and underpinned the student revolts and flourishing counterculture of the burgeoning hippie movement of San Francisco of the era.
