Since I was in DC, I spent most of my time in Georgetown - although the free concerts at the universities were hot as well as during the moratoriums they always had great bands - from Hendrix to the Amboy Dukes and Jefferson Airplane but laying out at the Washington Monument at night and fucking your brains out was a trip
I agree about the conformity jayeff - but at least we had balls - from picking up teargas cannisters and throwing them back at the cops to shutting down DC on May Day, at least we got off our asses and did something about a few of the "issues" of the day - even if maybe it didnt have the full effect we wanted - it sure seemed to
Of course I still got to go in the military anyway but at least I felt like we werent apathetic and "ME oriented" like todays generations - looking back I wish some of my contemperaries had instilled some of those ideals in their kids so todays kids would be doing something in society instead of just playing the sheep they are
