Peace-Love Dove -- Incense and pepermints to all you groovy guys and gals out there!!

[OldFolksMopar]

I've been thinking about the late 60's and early 70's lately. Boy, those were the days for love love love!! I really miss those days when the girls threw there bras away. I know many of you my age surely remember. I mean the girls had no inhabitations, willing to flaunt there goods. (Ya, legs and boobs for me)!!

My wife and I are from this era and boy it was a great time to be alive. We lived in the Gold State and would visit Ojai, Ca. for the hot springs and the 4 wheeling in our 73 3/4 ton Adventurer Dodge Power Wagon. Mount Laguna was another super place to camp. I'm sure some of you know of these places.

We would be naked and running around all over the place out there. Those hot springs were the bomb. It was just for the fun of it, you know!! And all the music from this era still stands today. What a time!!

As I grow older I am thinking that most things come back in phase after years. I am still waiting for it to happen.

I'm not doing this to be smutty, just remembering a part of our lives that really was an adventurous piece of it. I miss it!!

I can't forget my 67 GTX 440 4 speed. Pounding the streets of Diego. I guess that is why today I have my 67 Belve 11 as a GTX clone!!

What's Yours???

Strawberry Alarm Clock. I had the 45. Best part was, you could dive in there unprotected - and not end up dead. Besides the sounds, I miss the smells and tastes the most.

I dunno about that.....I got the clap 3 times from diving in unprotected. Even tho it's not usually a killer, it sure wasn't any fun.

Guess I was lucky. Only got crabs.

The US Air Force sent me to Amsterdam instead of Vietnam when I was BARELY 18 ! Yea......I remember some of it;) I came home 3 years later and I was 35!

 

[Budnicks]

Groovy stuff dude...LOL...

I personally don't want to run around with a bunch of other dudes, twigs & cherries bouncing around, but the ladies would be nice if they've actually shave & trimmed appropriately anyway...
I actually remember allot of protesting, scanky, unbathed, not so attractive, peace & love followers & un-groomed women too, in the SF Bay area & especially around Berkeley...

sorry I'm not trying to put a buzz kill on the subject, just what I remember....

Man I thought my older sister Lori was a full on hippie weirdo, in 1969...

I understand it allot better today, she was just caught up in the times & pier pressure...

I do really love the music from that era, probably the best music ever produced...

I'm also a product of the later 70's "Class of 77", I still hate disco... Born & raised in Calif.

My wife was raised on the Bay Area. She graduated in 69. Her favorite was Yosemite camping. Lotsa smoke & bota bags.

For me in the Maryland area I lived it seemed everyone I knew was into muscle cars and they were everywhere. I was 14 in 1970 and was already a raving Mopar mucscle car nut and new alot about them even by then. I will never forget the burnout my brothers friend did at my brothers party we threw for him in 1971 when he returned from Viet Nam. Matt Luger was the guys name and it was a rootbeer brown 340 Duster with the 3 speed on the floor. Boy he smoked the tires all the way up our block and being a Mopar lover allready I loved it. I wish I had gotten pics of it. My brother then had a 65 Monaco with the 426 street wedge and he sold that to my other brother and bought a 68 Dart GTS 340 four speed and he let me drive it when I had my learners. It was by far the fastest car in the world to me at that time. And today I drove my 63 over my friends house about 12 miles away and it reminded me of the 70's as at a redlite a younger guy in a truck blew his horn and when I looked gave me the thumbs up and told me he really liked my car and two other times on the way home two other people said how much they liked it. That sure reminded me of the good old days as I love driving my 63 on the street. This pic was taken at a gas station. Ron

Yep....I remember it all too well. I was stationed out here in 1969 when I first came into the AF at Travis AFB. Back in the day this whole area was a Military mecca. That started me on my road to ????? But it was all:

Peace Love Dove
Beads Bells Incense and Water Beds
And let's not forget Hare Krishna.

Used to hit up all the free concerts in Golden Gate and else where. Trippin' to the Dead at the Fillmore and Jefferson Airplane. Cold Blood featuring Lida Pence, Janis and the Mothers of Invention. Checking out Monterrey Pop while Trippin' on My Escalator...you get the jist....:icon_weed::icon_weed::icon_weed::icon_weed::icon_weed::icon_weed::icon_weed::icon_weed::icon_weed::icon_weed::icon_weed::icon_weed::icon_weed::icon_weed::icon_weed::icon_flower::icon_flower::icon_flower::icon_flower::icon_flower::icon_flower::icon_flower::icon_flower::icon_flower::icon_flower::icon_flower::icon_flower::icon_flower::love1::love1::love1::love1::love1::love1::love1::love1::love1::love1::love1::love1::love1::love1::love1:

I live the summer of love.... every day. "All You Need is Love" , the anthem that played in '67.

I actually remember allot of protesting, scanky, unbathed, not so attractive, peace & love followers & un-groomed women too, in the SF Bay area & especially around Berkeley...

I was just up in Berkeley visiting my little sister and her family this summer. I'm pretty open-minded and I'm used to places with a laid-back vibe since I live near the beach in North County San Diego but Berkeley is still pretty bizarre but maybe for different reasons these days.

First, the houses. 1000 square feet and under cottages built in the 1920s with no garages, tiny driveways that start at $800,000 and go up from there. The cars parked in the neighborhoods are another story. Never before have I seen so many ratty 1960s Porches and Alpha Romeos sitting out on the street all rusted and dented to hell. It's like the people there don't want to admit to how much wealth they have. They want to pretend they are still bohemians like it's still the 1960s or something.

And people take there outdoor active wear very seriously. You must have on your North Face jacket, hiking boots and many times those special ski pole-like walking sticks just to stroll around the neighborhood. At the same time, I've never seen so many seriously pale people in all my life.

We went to a street fair in a pretty mixed part of Oakland and I actually felt much more comfortable and at ease around the people there.

I got to sit in on a practice session with them because I have known the bass player (Evan Palmerston) for years. Evan was also the bass player for Elvin Bishop.

Some good Cold Blood right here

Well, that was a bit before my time. I was born in 1961, so I'm more of a late 70's early 80's guy.

It's all cool.

 

[OldFolksMopar]

Hey Budnicks, It was just a time in our lives that we can say we actually survived. Hell I never made it close to Berkley so wouldn't know of those girls!! There was a lot of protesting going on and being a big V vet Jane Fonda can still kiss my ***. I will never forgive that B--ch.

Meep Meep...We have a new Theater here in Vacaville that was re-furbished from the old movie house to a small concert theater. Elvin Bishop in October. Small and intimate. A lot of other really good line ups but I cannot remember all of them. Did you know that Lidia is still kickin' it around and singing? Love to see that act again. Such a petite gal with a tremendous voice...cr8crshr/Tuck
