Jennifer Juniper: Book Signing and Q&A

JOIN US FOR A SPECIAL EVENT BOOK SIGNING and Q&A WITH THE MUSE OF THE ’60s ROCK SCENE, JENNY BOYD!

THE INSPIRATION FOR DONOVAN’S 1968 SONG, JENNIFER JUNIPER, JENNY WAS CLOSELY CONNECTED TO THE ERA’S MUSIC AND COUNTERCULTURE. HER LEGACY ENDURES AS A CULTURAL FIGURE OF THE 1960S, OFFERING INSIGHT INTO MUSIC, FASHION, AND THE SPIRITUAL MOVEMENTS OF THE TIME.

About Jenny Boyd: “She never set out to be an author, let alone a doctor of psychology. She was a model during the swinging 60s in London, but not as big a model as her older sister, Pattie Boyd, who would marry George Harrison and give Jenny instant entrée into the elite of 60s pop culture. She hung out with George, Pattie and the rest of the Beatles, including making the pilgrimage to India and the Ashram of Maharishi Mahesh Yogi.

She had a reputedly platonic fling with Donovan, who wrote his hit (and one of his sappier songs) “Jennifer Juniper” for her, traveled to San Francisco at the height of the Summer of Love, was romanced by Paul Kantner of Jefferson Airplane, and had her first of many LSD experiences. She took George Harrison on a walk through the Haight-Asbury. Jenny Boyd would go on to marry Mick Fleetwood of Fleetwood Mac, twice, and have two daughters with him. She also married drummer Ian Wallace of King Crimson, Bob Dylan’s band, and other backing roles.” – from review by John Diliberto.  Full review here: https://echoes.org/2020/03/24/jenny-boyds-jennifer-juniper-a-review/
