I had been visiting Telluride since before there was even a ski area there, and my friends and I never felt anything that meant we should not be there even tho we might have been labeled "hippies" (No self-respecting “freak” of that era ever called themselves a hippie. The original hippies were a select group that came out of the Beatnik/Hipster era who were interested in creating utopian communities within the city. But by 1967, they realized it would never happen in a chaotic urban setting, and after having a ceremony to “bury” the hippie movement in Golden Gate Park in the fall of 1967, they disassembled to create communities in more rural settings. The “get back to the land” movement had begun. Meanwhile, the media latched onto the term "hippies” and it is still used incorrectly and, too often, pejoratively, even today.) Friends of mine even moved to Telluride, longhair and all, to comfortably join the community there. Oh, and I was in Telluride staying with one of those friends to catch both days of performances by the Dead.<br />Alaska.Dalehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16007512986475310041noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6952251.post-4555167866283835672016-03-27T13:42:57.337-07:002016-03-27T13:42:57.337-07:00please add copyright info to the pic of bobby and ...please add copyright info to the pic of bobby and jerry....©1987 robbi cohn/dead images<br /><br />thanks!!<br /><br />robbi cohnAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08246166102612037806noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6952251.post-66390771460125781882013-03-06T22:24:03.205-08:002013-03-06T22:24:03.205-08:00Absolutely magical, several of us flew in from Eug...Absolutely magical, several of us flew in from Eugene, and a Merry Prankster from the Bay area. 21 months sober, the Wharf-rats were my thing, and I'll never forget the sunlight on the boys on stage and also being 'shown the light' when Buddhist Monks explained that 'Yes, It was a window to the Age of Aquarius, and yes it is true that Rocks and Birds talk to you."
