Way back in Nlovember 1966 "Stills" (I'm not sure if that is the Stills of Crosby, Stills and Nash, but I suspect that it is) wrote a song called "For What It's Worth" in a band called Buffalo Springfield. He was responding to a protest that had turned violent following the closing of the Pandora's Box nightclub on Sunset Strip. I don't know how to create a link to that song but if someone could post a link so that EVERYONE can hear Stills message, that would make this post complete. So help me out here Anons. I encourage every Anon who comes to this board today to take the time to play the song and listen to the lyrics because they could have been written while someone was observing the recent campus protests. I swear it is amazing that this is the song God wanted me to play this morning instead of my usual Christian music.
So let's keep a count of how many people actually respond when asked to do so. I'll be number one. Now who gets the unfortunate distinguishment of being #2?
If anyone knows a moderator, perhaps it should be pinned at the top like it was the first post of the day, all day, every day until we reach we at least ????? which will always reduce to the number 7.
The name Trump will always and forever vibrate to the number 7. The qualities of the number 7 is complete but not yet whole (the number 9 means whole - you have done it - you have won and that my friends is exactly where we are and in order to get to the number 9, we have to work a rather long and twisting path thru the number 8 which is infinity.
So let's see who all is paying attention. Post your "screen name" (whatever the fuck that is as I still don't understand the fucking difference between a username AND a screen name. Can anybody tell me what the fuck a "screen name is".
And with that I leave the challenge open. Unless the mods think that will give the demoncraps an idea of how many of us there are and don't want to release that information, but I say THIS IS WHAT WE HAVE FUCKING BEEN WAITING FOR - IT IS NOW OR FUCKING NEVER.
Just like Zappa, Jim Morrison and even Charles Manson, Stephen Stills and Neil Young came out of Laurel Canyon. The whole Hippie movement just like the Hip Hop culture was implemented by the Intelligence community to disrupt American society.
Inside The LC: The Strange but Mostly True Story of Laurel Canyon and the Birth of the Hippie Generation: Part I
“There’s something happening here
What it is ain’t exactly clear”
I sometimes want to go back and decode MadMen's depiction of the Laurel Canyon scene. Megan wearing the Sharon Tate tee-shirt. I feel like there's a troll in it somehow but can't put my finger on it. Just rewatched Rosemary's Baby. The whole Roman Polanski connection to Tate and Laurel Canyon is its own rabbit hole. Vanity Fair guy wrote a book called Chaos, which begs a lot of questions about the CIA and Manson and Laurel Canyon. I feel like a person could dedicate a professional lifetime into trying to figure the whole thing out.
I agree. in my opinion there's a lot still left there to unpack. There are so many side tunnels in that rabbit hole a man could spend years following them.
I can't wait to do some research into this whole Laurel Canyon thing. It is so interesting that I've had a strange feeling about the whole "Helter Skelter" thing and I've had way too many nightmares about it over the years.
Must read material, either the online article Dogsoldier linked, or the book, "Weird Scenes Inside the Canyon" (both authored by David McGowan). The book has more detail but is a bit on the dry side.
Thanks seasonedcastiron. I will definitely get the book and looking forward to reading it.
This is soooooooo interesting to me. I can't wait to have some time to look into this Laurel Canyon thing. I find it just a little creepy that all the "famous" hippies I know about, almost all of them are associated with Laurel Canyon. Thanks for sharing and peaking my curiosity.
