The only obvious reference I know to it is the 1969 concert there, the Hell's Angels, the death. What makes it a touch-stone for you? Were you there? Thanks. Cheers, Scott.

Meth replaced weed and mdma, people instead of freelove were marketed by wolves. The rest gave up and became straights or outlaws. End of hope. Altamont was the end of what was started by the 1964 Monterrey pop festival.

My generalization, placing June 1968 as Inflection Point for the subsequent (mostly-uninterrupted) curve of 'National Decline' tries to average the effects (emotional + intellectual) ... on so-many observed: of That RFK assassination, as culminated the trio, since 11/63. (I postulate that, RMN made it to the WH ONLY because there was no longer an RFK to oppose (and I say: trounce) him.) Agreed: 'National Decline' / '1968 Elections' (including the Chicago Police riot, etc.) all are open to personalized versions/definitions of the matters. Inescapable that. Yet, by various measures: it Has Been a [-]-Slope on the Y-axis, since mid-1968. qed
