Lords of the Revolution

VH1 has a new documentary series airing this week called "Lords of the Revolution", which will feature episodes about Cheech and Chong, The Black Panthers, Timothy Leary, Andy Warhol, and Muhammad Ali. The one episode I've seen so far was really interesting, so I'm recording all of the others.

"They questioned authority. They celebrated nonconformity. They dared to be different.

In Lords of the Revolution, a provocative new documentary series, VH1 will profile the nonconformist heroes -- and anti-heroes -- of the 60s and 70s, honoring those icons who challenged the social, political and cultural institutions of the time.

Edgy, colorful, and visually dynamic, each hour long episode will feature rare archival footage and photos; an unconventional graphic treatment; a hip rock soundtrack; and new first-hand interviews from the people who were there -- all combined to tell the compelling, dangerous and subversive stories of a revolution that continues to influence popular culture today.

Lords of the Revolution is here to celebrate the leaders of the most significant cultural transformation of the 20th century."
