He still has the Hog Farm out there?

A few years ago he was on a 3000 acre ranch in Laytonville, CA teaching young kids how to be hippies.

I believe he is still there.

About the only thing I like about what he does is his campaign every 4 years running "Nobody" for president.....LOL...Elect Nobody...heh

I'd like to know where Wavy Gravy got his name. There was a DJ in the 1950s named Pete Meyers (aka the Mad Daddy) who broadcast from Cleveland and later NYC.

He termed the warped rock and roll/R&B that he spun "wavy gravy". He also mentioned the land of "Oo Bla Di" (as did Al Jazzbo Collins circa the same period).

Maybe it was all beatnik phrasing. I don't know.

I do recall Wavy Gravy making a plea to the participants in the original Woodstock that "those who still believe in capitalism" may want to support the booth of the hamburger man that had his booth burned down by agitators.

People think that the 1999 Woodstock was the only fest to have destruction of property and disregard for others. It is especially baffling since one of the organizers of all of the Woodstocks also was involved in Altamont. Hippies == Peace. What a joke.
