«El viaje de los sesenta, concentrado y reconcentrado en 1966, es un proceso alqu�mico: pas� del plomo --blanco y negro-- de la �poca previa --los cincuenta y antes-- al oro del Summer of Love y la gloria de 1966 y 1967, plenos de luz y de color, dise�os sonoros y visuales riqu�simos, para comenzar un acelerado proceso de deterioro hasta convertir el oro de los tiempos (la bella inscripci�n en la l�pida de Andr� Breton) de nueva cuenta en plomo. -Alberto Blanco
En este ensayo luminoso, Alberto Blanco indaga en una cuesti�n fundamental: en qu� momento la m�sica popular se convirti� en rock? La pregunta detona una reflexi�n crucial sobre el esp�ritu de una �poca y las ideas visionarias que propiciaron una de las revoluciones culturales m�s importantes del siglo XX; una que intent� cambiar el mundo (y en buena medida --para bien y para mal-- lo consigui�), s�lo para ahogarse en su propia agitaci�n. Al ritmo de los Beatles y los Rolling Stones, de Dylan y Frank Zappa, resuenan en estas p�ginas los ecos de la psicodelia, el peace and love, la mirada de Oriente y las luchas por los derechos civiles, pero tambi�n se sienten las heridas del abuso de las drogas, la violencia autodestructiva, la corrupci�n de la industria de la m�sica y el conformismo social.
Alberto Blanco (Ciudad de México, 1951) es uno de nuestros principales poetas, además de ensayista, traductor, músico y artista visual. Estudió Química y Filosofía, así como una maestría en Estudios Orientales. Su fuerte inclinación artística lo llevó a practicar la escritura, el dibujo y la música desde temprana edad. Fue integrante de las bandas de rock La Comuna (1969-1975) y Las Plumas Atómicas (1982-1985). Ha colaborado en varios proyectos con pintores de la talla de Gunther Gerzso, Leonora Carrington, Francisco Toledo y Vicente Rojo. En 1977 fue becario del Centro Mexicano de Escritores, recibió la Beca Fulbright en 1991, la Beca Octavio Paz de Poesía en 2001 y la Beca Guggenheim en 2008. En 2018 fue nombrado Creador Emérito. Sus más de treinta poemarios han sido traducidos a muchos idiomas y se han recopilado en múltiples antologías. También ha escrito una poética en tres volúmenes, El canto y el vuelo, que le valió el Premio Xavier Villaurrutia en 2017.
