Ah....the 60's psychedelic movement....I remember it well. Let us not forget that a lot of the art/light shows were developed to enhance the trip you took after dropping a tab of acid. It was called the "drop-out""tune-in" era, where the drive was to go against the establishment with music, clothing, art, drugs, protests, etc. It was the peak of liberalism....many folks still live the genre, but the majority of us made it out onto the other side and are productive members of society and somehwat conservative (with some really great stories of insane things we did back then).

I still love the music and art from that era and it is great to hear that there are shows dedicated to 60's art. That is a pretty good special about the hippies, I have seen it and it is a realistic documentary.

I always thought the Monsanto ride at Disneyland was pretty kewl on acid. :lol:
