783 The Byrds “I’ll Feel a Whole Lot Better” and “All I Really Want to Do” 1965

“When the Byrds began playing at Ciro’s they attracted a whole new clientele, the likes of which no one in Los Angeles (or anywhere else for that matter) had ever seen before. These were freaky beatnick types dressed in spangles and bells, scantily clad teenage girls from the San Fernando Valley looking for a place to spend the night, painters and poets, drug addicts, young Hollywood starlets and scores of fellow musicians....These strange folks in thir denim and leather and suede, smelling of something stronger than cigarettes, spinning around the dance floor like mad gypsy dancers, would eventually become known as hippies. The whole counterculture youth movement in America started at Ciro’s” (Rick Menck, The Notorious Byrd Brothers, 2007).
