Bill's Message of the Day
Wednesday, October 14
Back in the late 1960s, flower power was blooming in the USA. Radical leftists like Abbie Hoffman, Jerry Rubin, and Jane Fonda believed the anti-Vietnam War sentiment would lead to permanent leftist change in America. Instead of capitalism, folks would “share the land.” All would be groovy, far out. Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young might write a new National Anthem emphasizing the land of the free, home of the stoned.
Less than five years later, everybody was “Kung Fu Fighting” on the radio. Well, not me, but lots of people. Disco would soon replace “Four Dead in Ohio.” The hippies actually had to find real jobs to afford their LSD tabs.
