Provocative quote
Aug. 21st, 2008 11:26 amFrom what appears to be an excerpt from a book in progress that I stumbled across on teh intertubez:
( longish )
This (and more by Ace Backwards) can be found via the SF Herald home page.
I found it kinda provocative... and maybe more or less on the mark, though I doubt the causal relationship between the Summer of Love and every social ill in the world. That, and I think that both LSD and Jerry Garcia have a lot of value - just not nearly as much as some people seem to think! They have both, perhaps, been placed on too high a pedestal.
Everything from #3 onward seems especially pointed, and it's a message I find hard to deny.
Having missed the 60s entirely, I wonder what those of you who were around make of this little rant.
