Nothing that happened between January 1960 and August 1969, obviously.
Let the sixties have its illusions. Anyway, it was the seventies when things really went south.
You know, the 60s were mostly pretty button down. The San Francisco hippie movement got destroyed by its own popularity. The community just couldn’t handle the influx of homeless kids who came looking for utopia. But the culture we think of as being “the 60s” really wasn’t much like Altamont. Nor was it much like Woodstock. But as far as Woodstock is from the reality, it’s closer than Altamont.
