San Francisco Express Times was a counterculture tabloid underground newspaper edited by Marvin Garson and published weekly in San Francisco, California from January 24, 1968, to March 25, 1969, for a total of 61 issues, covering and promoting radical politics, rock music, arts and progressive culture in the Bay Area.[1] It was a member of the Underground Press Syndicate, and sold for 15 cents.
Starting in April 1969 the San Francisco Express Times changed its name to Good Times, publishing under that title with a substantially different editorial policy, lasting until August 2, 1972.[2] In 2021, Newsweek referred to Good Times as an "anti-police and pro-violence" publication.[3]
