I was in the area in the 60’s during the hippy commune crazy time. Some called me king of the hippies. Bernie tried to join the Fellowsip of the Spirit, a spiritualist commune under te leadersip of Metallica. (Not the band) It was a hard working group of several hundred of all ages building on sites in and around Northfield, Mass. Bernie did not fit in because he was a phoney intellectual, much like Obama.
Everyone has their youth...if they’re lucky.
Great article...I am surprised it garnered such a small response from Freepers.
