I was kinda like Joan Baez, Bobert...very much into the political and philosophical side or it, not at all interested in the drug scene. I was serious about it. I hated seeing the movement sidetracked into a bunch of wannabee fools who just wanted to party all the time, and who supported protest merely because it was seen as the cool thing to do. Their cynicism was all too evident to me.

I guess I was into it pretty deep all right. Anyway, thanks for the words of support.

And I did like a lot of the rock music. I liked Hendrix, the Stones, the Beatles, the Band, the Who, Jefferson Airplane, the Byrds, CSNY, Neil Young...but I wasn't much impressed by the English Progressive Rock stuff, which was what most of my friends liked the best. I love that movie, "This Is Spinal Tap", because it makes fun of the pretentiousness so typical of a lot of those English Prog-Rock/Metal groups.
