I was ( still am in spirit ) a hippie during the late 1960's and early 1970s (graduated from high school in 1971 ).
I spent a lot of time living communally and having great intellectual conversations into the night discussing all the great questions of the universe about art, existence, politics.
I never had one conversation with anybody at that time about the 1960s assassinations , black ops or strange things happening in the news . I can only remember one time somebody making a passing reference to when the Symbionese Liberation Army got massacred in LA and how that story was probably a bunch of crap.
Nobody even knew the name Mae Brussell. If the Grateful Dead or Jefferson Airplane or Hot Tuna or Johnny Winter or any of those people we looked up to at the time had pushed this topic a bit more i think consciousness really could have been raised about these events.
The only real mention was when the Stones said "I shouted out who killed the Kennedys" in "Sympathy For The Devil".
