Wanda,
I still get chicken-skin thinking about the Be-In.
It was the first time I was in the midst of maybe 15,000 people and for a “loner,” felt totally comfortable. The combination of music –Grateful Dead, Big Brother and the Holding Company w/ Janis, and Jefferson Airplane w/ Grace, and poetry – Snyder, Ginsburg, McClure, and the crazy wisdom of Timothy Leary and Ram Dass, were magical. It was a very seminal day that cast me into the counterculture and a world of possibilities.

Phil Ochs at Carnegie Hall in 1965. Because it was Carnegie Hall, my father made me wear a jacket and tie. Felt a little out of place but enjoyed it anyway. Four years later I was at Woodstock wearing . . .nothing. |

The Grateful Dead in Oakland CA in the mid 1980's. I had told my friend that folks tended to dance at Dead concerts, so she wore high heels. |
