If you could have dinner with any four counterculture folks...

[beachbum7]

Who would they be?

I'd love to see what counterculture folks (they don't necessarily have to be hippies from the 60s) you'd invite to dinner. I would invite Ani DiFranco, Jimi Hendrix, John Lennon, and Bob Marley. I think it would be a groovy dinner :)

[Duncan]

And I would love to have dinner with Mr. Hood. I'd invite Spanky, Alfalfa, Buckwheat, Porky and Darla.

Charles Bukowsky,Grace Slick,Joan Baez,David Bowie

[BuddyBuds]

I know it's not too creative, but i guess I would just pick John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison, and Ringo Starr. I would be freakin awesome to dine with all the Beatles, and there wouldn't be the awkwardness between guests that there would have been between say, Jim Morrison and Bob Marley ( or who knows maybe they'd get along great)

[EllisDTripp]

Abbie Hoffman
Augustus Owsley Stanley III
Jerry Garcia
Stephen Gaskin

[Ellis]

I would want to have dinner with Keith Moon, John Lennon, James Dean and Joe Strummer.

[Acorn]

bob dylan
peter tork

Wasn't he always in Hunger-Strike????

[staples420]

[Moonjava]

Peace!

[LuciferSam]

John Lennon, Jim Morrison, Jerry Garcia, Hunter S. Thompson

[mokie48116@yahoo.com]

I would love to have dinner with John Lennon, Jerry Garcia, Jack Kerouak and Huxley. The dinner conversation would most certainly be engaging and lively.

[TheJesusDude]

Jesus, John Lennon & Yoko, ghandi

[dreamweaver]

Bob Marley, Jimi Hendrix, Jerry Garcia, and Bradley Nowell because he seems like he'd be just a normal guy. I wouldnt know what to say to the other three, they're so cool they're untouchable.

[Acorn]

Jim Morrison
Hendrix
John bonham
and Hitler
why hitler?

[earthfog]

1 - Howard Huges
INVENTOR OF THE "SPRUCE GOOSE" AND ROLE MODEL FOR Michael Jackson
2 - G.Gorden Liddy
The real "wild man" of Watergate
3- Lenny Bruce
Free speach with a passion, always felt bad he missed the main Hippy period

4- And Of cource --

D.B. COOPER
Just got to know!

(Arlo, Wild Man Fisher, David Peel, Alan Burk, and Zappa were of on the list, but giving it a lot of thought, that is who I really come up with)
cannot imagin a more intresting dinner party

[mosaicthreads]

I only get to pick 4?

Let's see, maybe Bob Dylan, John Lennon, Keith Green, and Bob Marley. I think that would make for an interesting dinner conversation.

Or for a ladies night out I think I might invite Joni Mitchell, Joan Biaz, Ani d'Franco, and Stevie Nicks.

[hippietoad]

Man, Janis would have to be there. I'd love to sit next to Bob Marley and feel de good vibes. Yeah Gandhi would definately have an honored seat. Last but not least is Mr Garcia himself. I sure miss him. What a musician. Loved the bluegrass stuff he did. He could play us a tune.

[tiki_god7]

Neal Cassady - the grateful dead have been quoted saying that he is the father, they are the children......he was high

Jerry Garcia of course only more for his socio political views rather then musical accomplishments

Richard Alpert aka Ram Dass aka ex harvard psychologist and fellow member of league of spiritual discovery (headed by dr timothy leary)

And either Terrance McKenna, Robert A. Wilson, or Allen Ginsberg....

oh and shit....I'd try and squeeze aldous huxley in there as well........I think I pushed the 4 person limit....sorry I hope you can forgive me

[CelticMuse]

Ritchie Blackmore

Sybil Leek

Edgar Cayce

Tim Leary

[A Clockwork Orange*]

I would say John Lennon, as I am quite obsessed with him. But I would be WAY too scared to meet him (or any of the beatles for that matter) I'd say Jesus. He seems a nice guy, easy to get on with...

[Mrs.Plant]

John Paul Jones, Robert Plant, John Bonham and Jimmy Page

[lover/young_peace]

ok so ive only got five seats right... and im one of those seats so... ill invite the Who and all the seats will be taken. HOWEVER... im not done...

you see, we get Jim Morrison really drunk until he passes out and use him as a tablecloth right.

then John lennon gets to come sit on my lap.

We give Keith moon acid and lock him in the closet. Now bob marley gets to take his seat.

We get mick jaggar and keith richards to somehow act as a ceiling fan

and finally for dinner... we all chow down on a nice plate of deep fried Dick Cheny... yum

hahaha tahts a great night

[WaitingForTheSun]

Ken Kesey, Hunter Thompson, Mountain Girl and probably Robert Plant because he's a damn FOX. The rest I'd just think we'd all get along.

[A Clockwork Orange*]

Sorry, I misread the question.. four people?

- John Lennon
- Jesus
- Alex (Clockwork orange)
- Keith Moon

.. And I'm the only girl :D

[A Clockwork Orange*]

We give Keith moon acid and lock him in the closet.

What?! You can't do that do Keith.. unless of course I'm locked in there with him ;)

[kaya99]

I could't just pick 4!.

Bob Marley
Janis Joplin
Jimi Hendrix
Jerry Garcia
John Lennon
throw in a lil Zach De La Roca from rage.. i think i mispelled but oh well
and maybe someTori Amos......
and India Arie .. the list could go on and on...

[lover/young_peace]

What?! You can't do that do Keith.. unless of course I'm locked in there with him ;)
oh yeah keith dont need acid... hes naturally high so i guess you can take him;)

[AreYouExperienced]

Hunter S. Thompson
Bob Marley
Jimi Hendrix
Frank Zappa

[squawkers7]

I would like to have had dinner with all 4 Beatles. Sure adding Ghandi & Timothy Leary would be interesting. Sorry I may be out of it, but who is Lenny Bruce?

[Teeka]

Jim Morrison, Bob Marley, Stevie Ray Vaughn, and the mighty fine Gerorge Harrison. All of which I think was some nice looking guys who died way too young.

[lover/young_peace]

ah... i agree teeka....

[drumminmama]

I'd probably invite, Joan Baez, Ina Mae Gaskin, Dar Williams, and Arlo Guthrie.

Kathioh, no Kathi! Arlo dissed Baez in the song "Oh Mom your Universal Love is such a drag."
THat'd be like having Bob Weir at the table...big fight.. Listen to Hell in a Bucket...

[alice_d_millionaire]

hmm... well, here goes...
country joe mcdonald (still live n kickin)
jerry garcia
abbie hoffman
jack kerouac

Bob Dylan, Abbie Hoffman, Timothy Leary, and Joan Baez.....all so influential and inspiring.

woo hoo I love talking nonsense...

:)

[shadowofthesun]

WOOOOOOO I love this thread.....I'm totally postin! Alright, lets see here....

To start off this meal with appropriate social bliss, you must have an appetizer made up of Jimi Hendrix.
As the evening is about to begin, to counterattack the grin, I'd order a tall glass of the late Janis Joplin.
For a full rounded meal, to complete and not end the feel, my plate would overflow with the entirety of The Beatles.
But at the end of the din, a tasty treat for the one soul within, the candy of sin would be Jim Morrison.

P.S. OFCOURSE I KNOW OF SYD BARETT!!!! HELL YEAH! I can't spell, btw. Sorry. lol. But, fuck yeah....he'd HAVE to be there. Great music. And, the only place this trippy meal could happen would HAVE to be on a magic bus!! Or a magic carpet ride!;) Peace, love, and freedom ya'll.....I'm full up to the brim...it's nap time.

[lover/young_peace]

magic carpet????

now thats a thought.....

a carpet made of jim morrison's leather pants....

hahahaha tahts a sick thought....

[Gabino]

I'd prefer not to have them over for dinner, since i don't really know any of them,

but i do like to listen to Dylan, Dennis Miller, Ann Coulter, and Isaac Asimov.

[lover/young_peace]

always be open to meeting new people...:p

[Cloudminerva]

I definitely know him. That would be a trippy dinner!

Ben.
Syd Barret. (Anyone knows this guy? PLease say yes... :eek: )It would be a... trippy dinner :S

[Psilodelix]

Leary

Lennon

Garcia

Alexander Sasha Shulgin
(he's a real counterculture god to me, even though he stayed out of the movement)

[wildfire]

ok i have just a few months ago gotten into the 60's and i'm learning fast but it seems that i have only gotten in up to my knees so far and have thus to be completely submerged. i love this thread. i wrote down a list of names that i am going to go look up.

Frank Zappa- absolute genious music

Jim Morrison- haven't really heard much of the doors music but i love his quotes about freedom. i think that the man is brilliant.

Neal Cassady- .....................................I-uhhhhhhhh.....................bah............?.... ...................(speachless) (inhails deeply) wow!


Ken Kesey-one flew over the cuckoo's nest was amazing and as much as i loved kesey before after reading the electric kool aid acid test....him and the merry pranksters...i'm a big fan of their work...just amazing....he was like a jesus for heads.........wow

[lover/young_peace]

right on wildfire.... awesome blossom list you got there.
I too think Jim Morrison was brilliant. Also an extremely moving singer. But take into account he was heavy on the drugs, specially alcohol. Many people dismiss his work because of his reputation, but i still think he is amazing. He has really intelligent theories.... Music is really groovy too. Wish I could hook you up with some "Best of the Doors"..... mmmm sweet sweet songs. sing it too me Jim! he was a great man, not too bad looking neither. Ironically today (July 3) is the 33rd anniversery of his death.... oOoOoOo... im having a bad day.

Ken Kesey.... i agree there too. hahaha.... I'm forced to take D.A.R.E. program this year (I dont know if you heard of it or not.... but its where a cop comes in and tells the kids drugs are scary and drug-users are monsters etc...)... so I plan to ask the cop, "Officer? Have you ever been a member of the Merry Pranksters? Are you aware that Tim Leary did enormous amounts of drugs and died happy in his bed at the age of 75??" i know its mean but i want to see what he says.... feel like terrorizing him whoa ooops sorry off topic...

hee hee hee ive forgetton the point of all this so rock on.....

[Prisoner #6]

]Prof. Noam Chomsky-this could still at least concievably happen, he's still alive.

George Harrison-and we would definatelly have Indian food at the meal.

William S. Burroughs- (bring a junkie to dinner? Why not :rolleyes: ) Actually very funny and real person!

George Orwell-Another fan of Indian Food, great philosopher and author.

The conversation would be amusing, transcendental , sublime ,and thought provoking. It would be one of those conversations that lasts all night.! :)

[wildfire]

where i live absolutely everyone in my school smokes pot and everyone else around this general area does too. so to teachers dont really care so we've never had any of those people come to the school. but if they did....its time to give the narcos a friggen history lesson.

[lover/young_peace]

heh, where i live kids think you'll die from one joint.... maybe it's those classes they shove down our throat...?
anyway, Jim Morrison is cool.... you seem cool too so rock on man! :)

~~~~~PEACE HIP FOLKS~~~~

[SoFarAway]

Che Gueverra, Bill Maher, Lewis Black, Bob Marley...

[wildfire]

i used to go to a school like that where there might be a few groups of people that did drugs but most people thought that it would fry your brains and you'd be stupid and stuff. other than that it was the best school i'd been to. caught up behind a lota bullshit, but still a good school.


oh, and someone else, i've gotta add one more person to my list. george carlin. i don't think that he was really in the counter culture scene, but he is the best comedian. i agree with almost every word that comes out of this mans mouth.

[~piscean]-[delusions]

Terrance McKenna
Ken Kesey
Hunter S. Thompson

sharing an experience with any one of those four would be so enlightening.

[jimi morrison]

Todd Rundgren, Elton John, Robert Redford and Cher.

lennon, john
dunno why i did it like that... isn't it a coincidence that their first names all begin with "j"?

[SoftParade]

... isn't it a coincidence that their first names all begin with "j"?

I thought the same thought. A lot of musicians have their name that starts with a J. Before I met my new music teacher I asked him what are the rest of the letters of his name if the first was J. I had just met the guy at that point and strangely he's name started with a J.

[SilverClover14]

Federico Garcia Lorca- Gay Spanish poet/playwright who was murdered in the Spanish Civil War

Dorothy Parker- poet and member of the Algonquin Round Table

I should have been born in Spain. *sigh*

[allisonmoonflower]

I know it's not too creative, but i guess I would just pick John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison, and Ringo Starr. I would be freakin awesome to dine with all the Beatles, and there wouldn't be the awkwardness between guests that there would have been between say, Jim Morrison and Bob Marley ( or who knows maybe they'd get along great)

[capttrips25]

I just stopped in and saw this thread. I am an old prankster from better days. I worked with BGP ground crew for the Dead. I road with Ken on Further and have a project with Zane (His son). I worked with Wavy Gravy on the hog farm for a while and am an old friend of bear (Owsley). I have stood in the company of Tim Leary and baba Ram Dass. I actually have a home movie of Ken kesey and Hunter S Thompson and a few others you wouldn't know.

I spent years on the road with the dead and was always back stage with the band and their guest. I find the list of people you would have dinner with Interesting. Like we have said a hundred times... Nothing lasts.

See you on the road... maybe.

this is me if you know who I am

http://www.skoolie.net/albums/The-Willow-Bus/DCP_1247.sized.jpg

this is my bus, "Willow"
http://www.skoolie.net/albums/The-Willow-Bus/DCP_1240.sized.jpg

maybe you have seen Willow on the road

http://www.skoolie.net/albums/The-Willow-Bus/DCP_1233.sized.jpg

[strawberry]

I would have dinner with ...mmh...

Janis Joplin
king henry VIII

[soulrebel51]

Iggy Pop, Nico, Anita Hoffman, and Linda Lovelace.


God damn.... that'd be so much fun.

[Piney]

Steven Stills of CSN

Steve Jobs of Apple
Tommie Smuthers Sumthers Bros.
Sonny Bono

[jypsymoth3]

tim leary, jimmy page, jerry garcia, bob dylan. but its so hard to just pick 4

[shaba]

I had to make another list...


Syd Barrett
Nietzche
Dostoevsky
and, the first ape to control fire.

[hailtothekingbaby]

Jesus of Nazareth
Karl Marx
Satan

Edit: removed Adolf Hitler from the list because although he's an interesting person to say the least, the counter-culture label doesn't fit him. He was more like the climax of the rise of nationalism and militarism that started with the industrial revolution.

I can't think of anyone to replace him with at the moment though...
