Stumbled across this looking about fro Timothy Leary's quote about  
Baby Boomers being the first generation to be "demand fed," and was  
overjoyed to see most [if not all] of this scorching epochal  
sensation. "It Was Twenty Years Ago Today" came out in [surprise,  
surprise] 1987, coinciding with the first issue on CD of Sgt. Pepper.  
While ostensibly concerning itself with "Sargent Pepper's Lonely  
Hearts Club Band", this documentary opens up to include Allen  
Ginsberg, Abby Hoffman, some of the original Diggers, Timothy Leary  
and various and sundry artists and anarchists, including a number of  
anarcho-artists. Essential viewing, great background for Vineland:
