Through a bong, darkly
A new book argues that the '60s counterculture achieved nothing of lasting importance. So why does the era continue to fascinate us?
By Gary Kamiya [2008-04-09]

  • FeGroot misses the point completely

    Sorry old timer (and that is a state of mind) but it was a gas! And many people were changed from empty "why am I doing this?" consumers, to wise humans with insight and self-knowledge. It was so NOT about individualism, or "self", or ME!

    It was, and is, about us all as a part of the Whole - and, yes, I saw the Light, and experience life in the multi-dimensional reality that mystics and physicists are begging the rest of us to embrace - and you're so full of shit I can't believe I'm still trying to reach people like you. Why? Probably so you don't screw up some more of the young un's - who make far better teachers than students.

    For the record, I'm 65 and still one hell of a drummer, speaker, teacher, writer, life-saver and father - of a 14 year-old prodigy who makes me feel small. Must have been all that LOVE I brought to the table . . .

    Or maybe is was the acid...

    One never know, do one?
