Summary
This document appears to be a page from a memoir or narrative history regarding 1960s counter-culture journalism, specifically focusing on Jules Siegel and Arthur Kretchmer at 'Cavalier' magazine. It details a prank involving a fake obituary and the surreptitious scheduling of a rock and roll issue of the magazine. While stamped 'HOUSE_OVERSIGHT', the content itself is historical/biographical and does not directly mention Epstein, Ghislaine Maxwell, or specific crimes on this page; it is likely collateral material included in a larger evidence production.

Journalist Adam Ellsworth described Siegel’s “Goodbye Surfing, Hello God” with his most
famous example of rock journalism, but his most revolutionary was his article, “The Big Beat.”
It appeared in the Playboy-esque Cavalier magazine in 1965 and was one of the earliest writings

America to Bob Dylan “going electric” at the Newport Folk Festival.
