    Also on the Californian side you had the sugar shack where all classic rock superstars went to do the exact same thing.

    We often forget that the hippie scene was predominantly white, male, and came from privileged backgrounds. That’s the only demographic that was liberated by the freedom movement. Same with the NY arty scene.
