I'm not sure this is a black and white issue--music is like God (or is
God) in that some enjoy worship in groups or alone
beyond that is another reminder of the unrealistic nature of
hippiedom--nothing is free in life; not that I don't sympathize with
those who want to believe such things are possible but...

and also, the glimpse of the other other side, not private ownership
but mediated group musical encounters for those worshipping with
others--someone was making a killing

and finally, considering Altamont, can u blame folks for being a bit
wary of the free music happening

just saying
