I get your point S-Winder and couldn't agree with it more... There were lots of wantabees in the movenment who never got beyond the sex, drugs and rock-n-roll... Those were just sidehows for those of us, like dianavan, who actually *got it* and haven't bought back into the corportae model...

I can't believe that Steve Earl has sold his song "The Revoution Starts Now" to Chevrolet, 'er football 'et whatever... I can't believe that corporate America has taken out sideshows and used them to market crap to people that these people really don't *need*...

But there is promise in the numbers of folks who did slip thru Boss Hog's corporate/coneume/consume/consume net in the 60's... In almost any city you find food coops and community gardens and farmers markets... You find people sharing housing and sharing resources and conserving... And 2 years ago, when it was time to take to the streets in D.C. to try to stand in Bush's way ot invading Iraq, we were out there in the streets with our kids and grandkids... And it was a beatiful testament to just how much *drop-out stick-um* power the 60's movement had on millions of folks who to this day just don't buy into the establishment's story...
