INTRODUCTION & MUSINGS

Welcome All!

So, what's it all about man?

Keep On Truckin' Re-Visited is a moderated newsletter/list
about the time between the mid 60s and mid 70s. It was designed
to examine and present a positive nostalgia of a time since
past. It is also designed to provide a forum for you to share
your feelings, thoughts and experiences from that time frame.

Please participate and help this community to grow.

Way Cool! First off I want to thank all of you who contributed
to this month's issue. It was so wonderful to have all your
thoughts and memories to add to the newsletter. I knew you folks
would respond if I just begged a little (Okay, a lot.)

Thanks So Much!

Well, let's not stop there, there are still many more of you who
have a story, please share it with us!

Next month's issue will be the first for the start of the 5th
year of KOTRV. Wow, what a time it has been. I so much enjoy
doing this rag but sometimes I just kind of want to get away
and do other things, then, you readers remind me how much it
means to you and then, well, here we go with the start of the
5th year! Thanks for keeping me going. Let's see what the next
year brings.

How about telling me/us what you like or dislike about the
newsletter so I can maybe come up with some fresh content, ideas,
links, etc. that will make this a more pleasant publication for
you.

This is one of the biggest issues yet so I will not get carried
away with this section any longer, so....

Onward and Upward!

comment: I've just stumbled upon your site while searching for
information on the late 60's and early 70's. Even though I was
a hippie during this time, I seem to have forgotten a lot of the
vernacular (Gee, I wonder why?) I am currently writing a book
that takes place in 1971, so I was trying to refresh my memory
on how we actually SPOKE then. Anyhow, I will be reading some
of your back issues and will be writing to you again, I'm sure!
Anyway, good idea for a site!

Subject: Hippies, where are you?

Far-out. A chance to wax poetic about the good old hippy days.
Actually, what I have always wanted to figure out is - WHAT
HAPPENED? To our idealism, that is. Remember how we hated the
establishment? Now, most of us ARE the establishment. Do you
remember being able to walk up to a freak on the street (all of
us that were cool were freaks, remember) and asking if you could
score a joint. Not only did you get a joint for 50 cents, but
it was good stuff AND he didn't turn out to be a cop.
Where did the trust go? And will it ever come back?

Peace,

Peggy Stead

Subject: for KOTRV

Happy Birthday to KOTRV! How can it already be four years? Time
flies when you're having fun! It seems like just yesterday that
I bought my first Whole Earth Catalog. I went through and read
the story on the sidelines right away and then for days I read
the information. It was just the best book ever. I lived in
Redwood City at the time and I use to wander around town on my
days off to get the latest Rolling Stone magazine. It was a
newspaper of sorts in those days and I still have the one with
Dylan on the cover and the one with Jim Morrison on the cover.
I could not part with them.

It was my first year out of college and the hottest guy in the
world besides Jim, was Leon Russell .....tightrope....! I can
still hear him singing that song.

City Lights Bookstore was the best place to browse and read
Ferlinghetti. I didn't know that the bookstore was his. I don't
think I had found Jack Kerouac yet but loved reading others
like him - "The Pill vs the Springhill Mine Disaster" - I think
I might have the title a bit wrong. I can't even think of his
name right now but he looked a bit like Custer with his long
hair and handlebar mustache. I read everything by him so I am
amazed that I can't think of his name right now. There was
something about watermelon sugar, too.....

Those were the days. I felt so alone but I was not lonely. There
was so much to do and so many things to learn. I was away from
home for the first time in my life, 2000 miles away, in fact and
I was really on my own. I was living 30 miles from San Francisco
and had tickets to Altamont and tickets to see the Stones in
less than a week!!!!!! Could anything be more awesome????????

Subject: Missing the 60s

Besides the free love, free concerts, free clinics, etc. the one
tangible concept I miss most about the 60s is the camaraderie.

Everyone (in the mid to late 60s) was so willing to share and
care for their brothers and sisters.

I remember in June of 1968 my best compadre and I set out
hitching from Ohio to California. We had no problems getting
rides, food, cigarettes, bread, booze, or dope. When we arrived
in Ocean Beach a group of freaks was partying on the beach and
asked us (total strangers) to join them. That night, and for the
next 4 months after, we had a crash pad, food, loving, sharing,
caring etc. We were unconditionally accepted and loved
- now THAT'S camaraderie!!

I still carry that philosophy today.

PEACE,
Leo

Subject: Short thoughtful clip

I was raised in Santa Clara CA. Went to my first acid test with
the Dead when I was 16 in 1966. My first involvement with police
violence was in October 1967 when we tried to shut down the
Oakland induction center. It was a cold night and we were full
of righteous hope. It was the first of many times that the cops
(later pigs) kicked my tail. It is really how surprising with no
victories that we kept believing that we would prevail in the
end.

In the spirit of brevitity I will keep comments to a minimum and
hopefully fill out some of the events in future contributions. I
have been lurking on this list and love it. Particularly since
it comes from Mississippi. The last time that I was in
Mississippi (1969), I got escorted to the state border by the
police. Some friends from Baton Rouge and I decided that it
would be fun to camp out in a state park in Miss. We got there
and dropped and the only black in the group decided to flip out
and decide that the cops were after us. He got so upset that we
ended up taking him to the ER in Jackson and from there got sent
back home.

Before leaving high school, we had Monterey Pop in 67. 25K
people. A HUGE gathering. The authorities worried terribly about
how they would feed and control so many Hippies. Little did they
realize what would happen in a couple of years at Woodstock. The
Mamas and Papas headlined with the Animals. Country Joe tripped
on stage, Janis blew Mama Cass out of the water. The video of
the show has this great sequence of Cass's jaw just hanging
down. After Peter Townsend broke up his guitar, Jimi had to top
it and set his on fire. The dope was sweet. No one got hurt. It
was wonderful. Get the video.

Then there was the Haight. Most important group there were the
Diggers. They were anarchists who believed that all should be
shared and thus we could provide for ourselves. Let alone the
concerts in the parks and the Fillmore with Airplane, Dead,
Fish, Sons of Champlin and so many others.

Free Speech Movement evolved into Free Love. Then they
criminalized acid. Remember when acid was legal? No one ever
seems to talk about it. John Lilley was at the National
Institute of Health doing research with acid in alcoholics and
then dying people. I believe his book about it was called the
Center of the Cyclone. He then moved to discovering that
dolphins were people who could talk after they criminalized
acid. When he discovered that they were people, his work
reminded him of the Nazis and he let the dolphins go and moved
onto discovering sensory deprivation (floating in salt water in
the dark with earplugs) tanks. There are still commercial
enterprises here in Santa Cruz that you can pay to relax,
meditate in sensory deprivation tanks. Lilly then discovered
his spirit guides when he tripped in tanks. Something that I've
never had the courage to do.

Always seemed to me that Ken Kesey and the Pranksters and the
Dead projected the projected the Spirit of the Left Coast. Tim
Leary and Ram Dass (richard Alpert) projected what acid was like
in the East. Lots more cerebral in New York. There is a very
good biography by someone named Carpenter that I loaned to
someone in 71 that captured the Bay Area spirit well. If anyone
has some idea what the book might be I have looked for it over
the years and never found another copy. If someone reading this
list has my copy, I wouldn't mind getting it back. My kids don't
believe my stories. Acid legal?! Electric Kool Aid Acid Tests ?!
(there is a good book by this title by T. Wolfe if you want to
get more of the flavor). Tripping to find god
(Imagine the world if Nixon had dropped.)

I moved to Louisiana in 1968 after I got out of High School
reading High Times and organizing against the war. I was very
prejudiced against the South but in love with a girl there.
Someday I would like to write a book called from Berkeley to
Baton Rouge. Talk about culture shock!

I showed up on the LSU campus after driving for 2 straight days
(ahhhh, the energy of youth) and dropped back into the 50's. I
got out of my car having discovered Route 66 and US before
interstates were imagined in blazing heat and humidity with my
long hair, lather headband, patched blue jeans. Back then it was
freshmen boys with all their heads heads shaved wearing purple
beanies and girls with short hair all in dresses. There were 7.
Count them 7 longhairs at LSU out 20,000 plus. The media never
remarks that hippies were never more than 2-10% of the
population. I went from leading the struggle to end the war to
compulsory ROTC. LSU flowered that year. It was a fortuitous
move for me. I got to have another Spring and Summer of Love.
Hope and optimism that we could really change the world while
my friends in SF struggled to feed and house all of the freaks
flocking there while they dealt with the changing of the drug
scene to coke and heroin.

Janis, Jimi, Jim Morrison, the guitarist from the Stones who's
name I can't remember now, Martin John and Bobby were all dead
or killed. The Panthers were killed either in the streets or in
their sleep. (Remember Fred Hampton in Chicago>)

Back in Baton Rouge we elected the first Gay Student body
president and then the first Black at LSU. We started free
newspapers, a free clinic, acid rescue, collective living and
organizing. Decision by consensus rather than the tyranny of
the majority.We continued the civil rights movement. We thought
that we were being brave but the workers who had died in
Mississippi in the mid 60's had cleared the way. They weren't
killing us anymore. Maybe it was because they were too busy
killing us elsewhere. Chicago in 68, kent state and jackson
state in 69.

The split between the hippies and the politicos was not as deep
in Baton Rouge. Probably because there were too few of us to
divide into little sects. My favorite recreations in BR were
running out in the summer downpours that you can set your watch
to in the late afternoon and playing slip and slide on the ROTC
parade ground and floating down the rivers in inner tubes for
10 miles. Tripping or stoned of course. Dope will get you
through times of no money better than money will get you through
times of no dope. Cajuns know how to party. Possibly better than
anywhere in the world. Swamp weed and the psychedelic mushrooms
that grow on the cow patties on the levee of the mississippi
river. No wonder the LA liscene plates said, "Sportsmans
paradise."

The races seemed less divided then than they seem now. We would
go into black neighborhoods to go to church and just talk about
what we liked and feared and hoped for. I may be romanticizing
though as I remember my date and I were the only white faces in
the crowd when we saw James Brown at Southern University.

By the time that I left Baton Rouge in 1972 our little group of
50 people had done all the political work I mentioned above as
well as slept with each other in every combination imaginable.
I remember one night when 5 of my old ladyfriends came over
together and took me out and passed me about like a ping pong
ball. No wonder that the Africans call sex "the good thing"
before there was AIDS.

Back to the land movement. In BR I cut down pine trees and them
age to build my log cabin the next year. Read all about
homesteading but didn't want to live in Alaska where the
government would still give you land.

To end for now so that you have time to read other clips, I
don't think that we wrong in our critique of consumerism. We
were very naïve about the power of the state and advertising.
We have had major victories with the creation a counter culture,
feminism out of free love ( a huge advance), identity politics,
shutting down nuclear power, collective decision making,
wonderful music and art. Stopping the war. Civil rights.
Discovering the god within. The Earth Mother that sustains us.
And many more.

Peace Love Sex Dope,
PLSD.

Remember. Be here now.

I miss waking up in the morning during summer vacation and
running off after breakfast to work on the fort. Being the

advantages, like getting to be the first one to do everything.
I also miss the hysterical belly laughs that I shared with my

Environmental News Network
-in their own words-

Since 1993, the Environmental News Network has been working to
educate the world about environmental issues facing our Earth.
We began as a monthly print publication, called Environmental
News Briefing, and two years later discovered the Internet as
an effective means of reaching a broader, more diverse audience.

Our modest print beginnings have led to a multi-faceted web
production. Today we not only offer timely environmental news,
but live chats, interactive quizzes, daily feature stories,
forums for debate, audio, video and more. These components are
all aimed at educating our users about the major issues, while
at the same time giving them the tools to make a difference in
their own community. We are not an activist publication, but
instead try to present information from all sides so our users
can make their own decisions.

QUOTES

Quotes On Dreams

*-*-*-*

"We grow great by dreams. All big men are dreamers. They see
things in the soft haze of a spring day or in the red fire of
a long winter's evening. Some of us let these great dreams die,
but others nourish and protect them; nurse them through bad
days till they bring them to the sunshine and light which comes
always to those who sincerely hope that their dreams will come
true."

*-*-*-*

"Cherish your visions and your dreams as they are the children
of your soul; the blue prints of your ultimate achievements."

- Napoleon Hill

*-*-*-*

"You're in the midst of a war: a battle between the limits of
a crowd seeking the surrender of your dreams, and the power of
your true vision to create and contribute. It is a fight between
those who will tell you what you cannot do, and that part of you
that knows - and has always known - that we are more than our
environment; and that a dream, backed by an unrelenting will to
attain it, is truly a reality with an imminent arrival."

- Anthony Robbins

*-*-*-*

"Goals are dreams with deadlines."

- Diana Scharf Hunt

*-*-*-*

"If one advances confidently in the direction of their dreams,
and endeavors to lead a life which they have imagined, they will
meet with a success unexpected in common hours."

- Henry David Thoreau

*-*-*-*

"Only things the dreamers make live on. They are the eternal
conquerors."

- Herbert Kaufman

*-*-*-*

"That which the dream shows is the shadow of such wisdom as
exists in man, even if during his waking state he may know
nothing about it. We do not know it because we are fooling away
our time with outward and perishing things, and are asleep in
regard to that which is real within ourselves."

- Philipus Aureolus Paracelsus

*-*-*-*

"The size of your accomplishments, the quality of your
achievement, will depend very largely on how big a man you see
in yourself, what sort of image you set your possible self,
yourself at your best."

- Orison Swett Marden

*-*-*-*

"A man's dreams are an index to his greatness."

- Zadok Rabinowitz

*-*-*-*

"I have a dream that my four little children will one day live
in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their
skin, but by the content of their character."

- Martin Luther King, Jr.

*-*-*-*

"In dreams and in love there are no impossibilities."

- Janos Arany

*-*-*-*

"A dreamer is one who can only find his way by moonlight, and
his punishment is that he sees the dawn before the rest of the
world."

- Oscar Wilde

*-*-*-*

"Dreams are renewable. No matter what our age or condition,
there are still untapped possibilities within us and new beauty
waiting to be born."

- Dr. Dale Turner

*-*-*-*

"I prefer to be a dreamer among the humblest, with visions to
be realized, than lord among those without dreams and desires."

improvisation--as a less commercial, more personal outlet for
his natural speaking talents. Best gathers the brightest of his

Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com
For Led Zeppelin fanatics, this 1976 feature The Song Remains
the Same is a treasure of searing live performances,
particularly welcome in light of the sad scarcity of such
visual material from the band's great decade. Despite the
group's road weariness after a long tour, their final, three-
night stand at Madison Square Garden in 1973 was full of the
old power. Performances of "No Quarter," "Whole Lotta Love,"
"Black Dog," "Dazed and Confused," and "Stairway to Heaven"
underscore Zep's charisma. Trouble is, you don't get an
unbroken performance here. Viewers have to wade through a
mishmash of documentary insight into the lives of Robert Plant,
Jimmy Page, John Bonham, and John Paul Jones, as well as
fantasy sequences supposedly inspired by the thoughts and
fantasies of the band's... read more at Amazon.com
