Watergate, Warhol and the Birth of Post-Sixties America

I hate it when someone does this to me...  have had someone say that
GR is a shitty book because it isn't straightforward & easy to read...
 nearly smacked them...

I think HST had some good comments on the 60s, he didn't seem to get
too caught up in the hippie BS... it was like they really had a chance
to do something and instead they just sat around tripping on acid and
smoking pot, and now they've grown up and are fucking over the country
the same way it was fucked when they were kids...  where did all those
ideals go.
