As I already mentioned in g beat, I saw a movie last night entitled "My Dinner with Jimi" -- based on Howard Kaylon's reminiscences of his life as a Turtle, right around the time Happy Together became a big hit -- in which Henry Diltz appears as a character in one of the earliest scenes, portrayed by John Corbett of Northern Exposure and My Big Fat Greek Wedding.

Your description brings back the feeling. That really was an amazing cultural event. I would hope some of those shared values are still alive in some people's lives, some of that feeling of family. We just have to connect up again. [Read entire topic]

The best way I know to describe it is a sense of family, a sense of intimate connection with people you'd never seen, and by inference a connection with everybody you'd meet who'd been listening to the same music, smoking the same dope, wearing the same clothes, reading the same books, feeling the same sense of loss over shared tragedy ... a shared culture, which we called 'counterculture' because it seemed to work in opposition to other cultures that didn't have as many cultural reflectors embedded everywhere. It was so open.

I'm trying to think where it ended for me. I think it was when I was living around a bunch of people I knew and the scene turned dark, really dark. All that weird shit we know so well by now started creeping in... jealousy, envy, ego. But it seems that was happening everywhere at once, too, and we were sharing the pain.

Somewhere the sharing stopped, though. 'Til we got online, that is! *8^) [Read entire topic]
