No it's Robert Altman! - Jon Hammond: On the scene for Joel Selvin's Book Release Party last night at Great American Music Hall: Book Buyers -- Jon Hammond: On the scene for Joel Selvin's Book Release Party last night "Four months after Woodstock celebrated the free-spirited nature of the 1960s, Altamont brought the decade to a crashing close. The free festival, which took place at a speedway 50 miles east of San Francisco on Dec. 6, 1969, lives in notoriety as one of rock music’s great debacles — the site where 18-year-old Meredith Hunter was stabbed to death as the Rolling Stones played “Under My Thumb.” In his latest book, “Altamont: The Rolling Stones, the Hells Angels, and the Inside Story of Rock’s Darkest Day,” former Chronicle Pop Music Critic Joel Selvin talks to the key players of the day to get the definitive account of what went down when a crowd of 300,000, more than a dozen rock groups and the Hells Angels — hired for $500 in beer to be stage guards — came together in the arid valley. He celebrates the book’s release with a signing party on Tuesday, Aug. 16, at Great American Music Hall, featuring a set by Rudy Colombini and the Unauthorized Rolling Stones. Selvin spoke to us about the lure of Altamont. Q: What is it about Altamont that keeps us interested? A: It’s one of the few dark days in the history of rock. This was the anti-Woodstock. It also took place in December of 1969, so it bookmarked the end of the ’60s in a chronological way. The loss of innocence that day really is why this has lasted and why it endures as a cultural touchstone. Q: What compelled you to revisit an incident that happened nearly 50 years ago? A: There was a story to be straightened out. “Gimme Shelter,” which was produced in partnership with the Rolling Stones, is a great movie, but it’s not a journalistic document. No one has touched this topic since Rolling Stone magazine’s epic “Let It Bleed” issue in 1969. Until that report came out, the media had presented Altamont as a triumph. The Chronicle headline said, “300,000 Say It With Music.” The New York Times noted the murder of one concert attendant in its story. Everyone fell in with this “Woodstock of the West” myth."...
