Robert Stone and the 60s

[rich]

maybe the hells angels gotta hold of that stuff at altamont during the
Stones free concert in 1969

just re-watched Gimme Shelter for the millionth time

should be mandatory viewing for people who work for the Heritage Foundation
or Pat Robertson

the onscreen murder, the arc drop of pool sticks, the ones filmed having
deep religious experiences--on stage, or the naked ones, groosly obese, the
beautiful angel with the wolf headpiece, the spinning heads of girls with
free tits, the german shepherd roaming the stage, paul krassner's miked
argument with another angel, the flippant stoners calling for doctors then
playing the flutes, pissing where you stand, massive worried bodies in
motion, and a few births amongst the gropings.

looking back on it from 2007, it's pretty depressing viewing
