Did you ever make to the Stone or the Fillmores?

I know it's across the pond, but it was well worth it in the seventies... Even the early eighties (if you liked the leather and studs and spiked mohawks...)

Another movement that has turned into an anachronism (seen the play, Hip Hippy Hooray lately?) - as it probably should have for the most part. Too much emphasis on "now", on self gratification, on intuition. Definately not a good thing.

The major contradiction - who was gov of hippyland for the better part of the seventies??? Moohoohahahahahaha.... Dichotomies R us... That's why I'm so found of my term - hippycrits...

We've come full circle, haven't we?
On a lighter note, I miss the weekend boardwalk jaunts to Santa Cruz. And feeding the seals and sea lions. Never could get those damned otters into the game! They must have been conservative.

Just a few thoughts,

Just.. Mothers (of Invention) at the Fillmore, mostly.

Rock never my forte. Amplified geetars n' stuff - generally make my head hurt. Mothers much too loud too, but at least they were real musicians and had something to say - and Zappa was a virtuoso kinda guy. (Ian Underwood I knew pre-Mothers: when he was playing Mozart at Hertz Hall! ;-)

Anyway.. the whole period has become a rich broth for each newbie to manufacture YAN This IS the Way It Was.. Honest! I have no delusion that "the THIS that I saw" was any more than an infinitesimal slice of a holographic organism. Among the so-called (and now eviscerated, deconstructed, Disneylandized) "hippies" were some genuine mensch of both genders, along with the usual opportunists, so about That Time:

Those who Know don't Say.
Those who Say don't Know.

All I'll venture is: there were a fucking Lot more *Alive* people around Then - than the pissant, led-to-slaughter Corp. consumer-sheep du jour. I believe that something Important for the maturing of Murica beyond its perennial adolescence:
Died-Dead, largely related-to the three assassinations between '63 and '68 -- and the growing catastrophe of Vietnam (whose effects we have yet to face with any guts).

Wondering if we'll survive the double-whammy of a Dubya AND an Ashcroft.. that sanctimonious twit + some new Troglodyte on the USSC [??] could generate buckets o' Fundamentalist blood on the steps.. y'know?
