I guess you would have had to be there way back then.....I missed Woodstock. But I did go to many concerts and I didn't see all this stuff you saw. I saw people who stayed and cleaned up. I wouldn't say it would be my thing now....I tend to stay out of crowds but I think maybe concerts aren't for you. I didn't see the hate you saw. and I don't judge by people by their looks. Most of the so called Hippies from back then that I knew are doing really well now. Own businesses and really nice cars & houses... I more or less missed the hippie era but my brother & sister were quite into it. I did run away to Watkins Glen NY to see the Dead, The Band & the Allman Brothers. More then 600,000 people were there. I had a great time but I was like 14 yrs old and caught hell when got home.

They say "If you can remember the '60s, you weren't there."

I assume that explains a lot about the foggy patches in my mental archives.

Jerry Rubin went from Yippie to Yuppie. He went from being a revolutionary and an agitator who met with Che Guavera to investing in the stock market. From being in the Chicago 7 to Wall Street.

Doesn't mean that he wasn't a crumb who did bad things to this country.
