On a magic carpet ride from Germany to Toronto to California, we follow the evolution of the band Steppenwolf, in a time when music was taking a cue from the darkening world around it. One of the most iconic and enigmatic bands in the history of rock music, their song “Born to Be Wild” opened the cult movie “Easy Rider” and became an anthem for an entire generation.
