Been Down So Long It Looks Like Up to Me by Fariña, Richard. paperback edition. ISBN: 9780440105145.

Scenes are for making. From mesacaline trips to campus riots, from sacrilegious rites to the New Left, from amorous conquest to amorous conquest...Gnossos Pappadopoulis makes them all. Whos gnossos? Hes a shaggy-haired, pot-puffing product of the Great Society, an amoral collegiate hipster who loathes convention, lusts for kicks and is determined, above all else, never to lose his cool. Hes the guy who has been down so long it looks like up. Richard George Fariña (March 8, 1937 – April 30, 1966) was an American writer and folksinger. He was a figure in both the counterculture scene of the early- to mid-sixties and the budding folk rock scene of the same era.
