It is one thing to create a spirit, another to make it sustainable. One of the next rock concerts after Woodstock hired the Hells Angels as security, and for some reason the movement of Woodstock, as wonderful as it was, died. The Summer of Love was also the Summer of Charles Manson.
Alas, utopias have to exist in the real world, and the real world has this way of infringing.
Died, perhaps, as a dominant trend, but even so rainbow gatherings and grateful dead concerts and other music festivals continued the same spirit for a couple of decades afterward. It seemed all but dead later after Mr. Garcia died, but then the rave scene exploded and we had a second summer of love a few years later! So, the spirit lies in waiting to appear again, anytime
Utopia? Maybe not. But the legacy continues..... reverberates.... http://generational-theory.com/forum/thr...l#pid50881The word "utopia" means no place. It doesn't really exist, except in that wonderous land whose boundaries are that of imagination. But, imagination creates some reality!
