long interview

(Steve Emanuel wrote:)

it's always amusing how little people who weren't there misunderstand the hippie daze...maybe it's the urge to make slogans and ascribe labels to it all...the spontaneity and exploration that was the primary mover of the times may never exist again in that freshness and ecstatic psychedelic splendor...for some of us, those were seminal and life-altering experiences that set us on the wonderfully weird trips that have brought us thus far...it's always good to hear that there's still some who stay crazy...keep up the fight...love Steve

ah, Steve! One of the ways we can truly tell the true power /influence of the period is by how completely they try, if not to totally erase it from the collective memory, to discredit it, make fun of it, belittle it by revisionist history!
You and I have known each other since 1968. We have lived together off and on communally through the years. And recently we have played together in my band. That should give them an idea of the real deep power of the sixties!

In Freedom,
Frank Moore
