Summer of Love/ big oops for Patti?



There's one problem about celebrating the 40 year 
anniversary of the Summer of Love: The event in
question started on the summer solstice, 22nd of June
1966!!! (in Haight Ashbury, San Francisco at sunrise).

That makes this year the 41st season.

How could they miss that with a knowledgeable gent
like Lenny Kaye around? 

Of course, the music that was born of it didn't 
blossom until 1967. It takes a while for such expressions
to go from the minds and note pads of the artists to the small
clubs and festivals.... to the recording studio, the radio 
and record bins and off into the great eternal juggernaut
of pop culture.

Peace, loud guitars and flower bombs,

Paul
