Without the Timothy Leary types to guide the acid trips and inspirations, some of this stuff might have taken decades more to come to fruition. IBM suits and Ward Cleaver values didn't build our world today. <br />shellfishAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4649343161125212318.post-42873107866377733992014-05-25T17:56:05.414-07:002014-05-25T17:56:05.414-07:00Whatevs dude....if you need this, okay they were h...Whatevs dude....if you need this, okay they were hippies.fishnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4649343161125212318.post-62049517896574438022014-05-25T11:02:10.557-07:002014-05-25T11:02:10.557-07:00being very familiar with one of Gary Kildall's...being very familiar with one of Gary Kildall's band of merrymen, I can attest that the guy I know and most of their gang was a genuine hippie that you imagine.
