Iranian Immigrant Tommy Bina and his family have been the owners of The Canyon Country Store for the last 40 years, also known as Love Street.Tommy has been the gatekeeper to the legacy of the counterculture era of music that was birthed at the store in the late 1960's by Jim Morrison and The Doors, Momma Cass of the Mommas & Poppa's, Crosby Stills & Nash, and many other iconic acts and artists who frequented the store and made some of the greatest pieces of art of all time given to the world in music and film/tv. After pursuing a bid to acquire Paramount Global Studios instead of Skydance, led by the son of the richest man in the world, Larry & David Ellison - William and his friends were led to Love Street and the Bina family. Through the work they have done in the past year, along with a partnership with one of Americas oldest remaining historically black private boarding schools located in Mississippi, Piney Woods - they have all worked and untied together for justice, education, and to set art and children free. Legacies can't be bought, they an only be created in divine time. Join us for a conversation about life, legacy, and history while sharing some Coca-Cola.
