For "musicians, poets, visionaries, student radicals and wayward youth gathered in Golden Gate Park.", read "no-talent hacks, people who can't construct sentences, idiots with bad ideas and lots of anger, morons who didn't learn when they got beat up in high school that they were annoying, and a$$holes who couldn't hold down jobs 'cuz they were so STUPID gathered at a park because they didn't have anywhere else to go, having been shown the curb by parents who were sick of supporting them and their "I know better than you because I'm young" attitude."

I had an aunt who did time for weapons smuggling for some radical group that was supposed to overthrow "Da Man." She crawled out of her hole when my grandfather died and hounded my dad for her share of the sale of his home. She then promptly vanished, and hasn't been heard from since. And that's not a bad thing, actually.

Tie-dyed Depends. Now THAT'S funny.

I always loved Ted Nugent's description of Hippies.

"When they were getting stoned and talking about peace, I was shooting my guns and stealing their women."
