    I’m planning on going to California and riding my motorcycle up the coastal highway and follow the same route I hitchhiked many moons ago during the Summer of Love, when I realized the Summer of Love was 50 years ago in 1967 and so I was wondering if anyone is planning on doing anything interesting this summer to celebrate or if anyone had heard of anything interesting happening this Summer?

    11.400 US servicemen died in Vietnam in 1967 during the so-called summer of love (i.e. pot, protest, and pussy)

    Quite obviously, the US government was not heavily invested in love in 1967.

    As for “pot, protest, and pussy”; psychedelics, yes - protest, not so much – pussy, it is a common misconception that free love meant free sex but in a world, that seemed filled with Hate (Vietnam being an example), some thought it was time for mankind to turn to Love (an intense feeling of deep affection, not sex) as its dominant emotion, thus the Summer of Love.

    Gonna get drunk in a field and listen to music. Probably slightly more aggressive music than back in the day.

    Doogies! I thought something would be happening to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Summer of Love.

    Oh well, I'm going to ride the Coastal Highway up to Frisco and then up to Seattle.

    Maybe see you on the road.
