This thread is for people in my age range.
 

It is coming on 40 years since the Summer of Love. Unless you lived in LA, San Francisco or New York City you probably only got to read about it. Of course, if you were in Nam at the time, you probably missed out too. :error

But for those of you that did get to experience it, was there ever a better time? Did you appreciate what we had going at the time? Pure acid, loose women, great music.

Yeah, that was definitely a great time to be a teenager . . . other than the threat of Nam hanging over your head.

Oh yeah, I miss those days too brother. :upsidedow

ok, i wasn't born yet but it sounds fun. :)

im 20 and doing that now, What day is it? Where the fuck are my keys? What the hell are these goddamn animals?

i missed it but i cant imagine the bad ass times you must have had. drugs, women, great music. what else could you want.

dellusional old man posting bullshit . . nothing to see here

read some more then find out why you posted total bullcrapp


no need to thank me for the free advice..

Pure acid, loose women (no HIV = no rubbers) and great music.... what more could a man want?

Sounds like paradise to me.

i feel the same about being a teenager in the 80's ... what a blast ! or maybe it was just being a teenager ... good times.

except you had AIDS, lousy music, and acid cut with PCP

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh

Can't argue with that.

bad acid
 

maybe you did ... early eighties... I had a blast... everyone seemed to be having a blast on acid only tried it once at a grateful dead show "goonybird". seems like there was a shit load of coke more then acid I remember a lot of weed - booze , great tunes ! as far as sex nobody thought they were going to get aids or cared so I know it wasn't as free as the sixties but not as bad as the late 80's + ...

What were you doing in 67 Dave/

Oops I clicked this by accident, my bad.. ;)

People in your age group? maybe you should hit up an antique forum or somethin

Sounds like a blast baddog.

Dave, it looks like you're making up for lost experiences now.

Its dusty in here, did you fart baddog?

As an Army (paratrooper) Captain, I departed a Company Commander job at Ft Bragg, NC in May of 1967 and went to the Central Highlands of Pleiku, Vietnam, for assignments with the 4th Infantry Div; until Nov, I served as the Divison's Personnel Management Officer handling personnel assignments and (hopefully) masked pumping up of units expected to be in the thick of fighting with Viet Cong and NVA (No. Vietnamese Army), where I also instituted actions to trade similarly trained folks with the same bunchings of redeployment months to other combat units with different months of return to America, thus smoothing out the end-of-tour rotational humps when some units would have been otherwise hurting for experienced and terrain-familiar troops. In Nov, I took over as Infantry Div Unit Cdr, set up in-country training, patrols, ambushes, etc and learned to barely sleep nights during the almost constant rocketing and mortar shellings of the Tet Offensive--long story short, I and a Bronze Star headed back to the "World" in late May of 1968.

Botton line, my 1967 didn't involve any "loose women":-(.

REALLY old fogey!

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

yeah, the other side of '67 . . . thanks for the efforts.

heh... I think I was a product of the summer of love... so, didn't get to experience it... sounded like groovy times tho

born early 68?

it didn't seem quite so carefree while listening to the radio during the draft lottery waiting to hear your number come up......

Baddog you are a Fucking Retard!

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh

drugs, women and music have improved over those years (well, here in holland they have )

Welcome Home Sir.

Dico dancin' till dawn, weed that was cultivated and sold, by name, white crosses, The Crisco Disco, Plato's Retreat and REAL Neighborhoods.

Yup I miss the old days.

They did not have the lottery in 67. If you were draftable, you were pretty much drafted.

good times good times, i remember them well :)

true, i wasn't talking about specifically '67, since the "elements" of the summer of love were still present for a few years after that.....

Gosh, I'm feeling left out---basicly, I missed the "real" Summer of 1967:-((

Dave
REALLY really really old fogey!!!!

If you were old enough you would realize how much things had changed, even between 1967 and 1968. This was one era where a few years in age really made a difference.

A couple of years made the difference between a guaranteed draft and a lottery, and Haight-Ashbury went from being a real "groove" to being a place you would not go after dark.

That was one of the saddest changes in my book.

yes, but that is the era that pure MDA started to hit the masses too :winkwink:

shortly after to be modified into MDMA which is not as good. :(


:thumbsup

i wish i could have experienced it. as much as it might be glorified now and as much as todays generation wants to have their own version of it, it truely was a turning point for many things.

HS and college sex was great because there was no such thing as "AIDS'. :(

Welcome to the future. We have shaved pussy here.

I showed up in the summer of 68

:thumbsup

I may very well have been a result of the aftermath..

My mother was only 2 years old in 1967.

I can just hear Purple Haze by Jimmy when I read your post:thumbsup

ROFL

you dont know shit about lsd obviously
