All Comments on 'Flower Power'

excellent read. i think i met this guy down on eddy street across from the bus station.

best line was the "toilet seat hairstyle" fuzzy/fuzzy.

good ending. you took your reader on a journey of creative images. maybe you could add something about the shadrows in san francisco and the difference in temperature they create added to his mood as he keeps getting forced away from where he wants to be. this story is good enought that you could write several versions.

Don't know my friend. you make it sound like hippies was all about drugs... There were a whole lot of other ideas than that involved.. If you're not a old time country freak then most of the music you listen to today comes from those ideas... As well as anti war which to my eyes is rather ok... Ask some of those guys that did the real fighting what they would prefer.. As well as numerous other things too.. But you wrote a good story anyway :) Cheers Yoron

I spent a couple of months around the Bay area in ‘69 and again in ‘70. I was in the Naval hospital in Oakland recovering from Vietnam. By then the big “Flower Power” movement had pretty much faded away. What was left was a lot of anti-war protesters, druggies, drug dealers, and some hippies just hanging around because they had nowhere else to go. It was a really interesting scene. I’ve often wondered how many of those people made it out of their 20’s alive.
