Inside The LC: The Strange but Mostly True Story of Laurel Canyon and the Birth of the Hippie Generation

that movie is on TCM this week.

There was no era like the sixties, and there never will be again...

Self discovery has been flushed down the the toilet!!!

Now it is corporate media ZOMBIES....

hey thanx!!! and i got to vote ***** on my thread again!!

Ok,I've read a lot of this before and it connected certain dots.
Thanks OP.

for mind blowing truth!

The Hippie movement started in San Francisco, not LA. The "LA version" of Hippies consisted of the commercialization of the Hippie, which of course, killed the movement.
In fact the "death of the hippie" was noted shortly thereafter, back in San Francisco.

Thanks much for the update.

That was put up last year, note the date 2010. It's not new.

Wow. I'm only just now on part 2 and my mind is already going a bajillion miles a minute.

I was raised by a hippie mom who went to anti-nuke rallies in the late 70's and early 80's as the last expression of her hippieness before "selling out" to the neo-conservative movement (which I later found out was started by the same 50's era liberals that got the hippie movement going in the mainstream in the first place...people like Irving Kristol and father of the anti-psychiatry movement, psychiatrist R.D. Laing).

To make the story weirder...I grew up on Frank Zappa and Janis Joplin and the Doors, and later in life I went into the military intelligence community (where I still keep a little more than one foot in even though I'm "out.")

Jim Morrison and Frank Zappa were 2 of my biggest influences in my youth and I've never been the kind of music fan to look up every detail on every musician I like....in short, I had no idea of Frank Zappa's mil-intel connections until now.

I always thought to myself that I had been kind of a "sell out" by following my dreams of getting into intelligence because that's what I grew up thinking I was supposed to think (Grow up on the "left", going to the "right" is "selling out") but now that I read this mind mind is just aflitter with now ten bajillion questions.

One of which is; "Was I programmed to go into the intelligence community?"

Whew. Quite a read there in the new installment.

Woo-Hoo for anyone else that missed the new installment was posted 5/26/11

Happy Reading.

Schweet!

Been waiting a long time for the new one. (I even linked the page here a couple times, but missed that. Thanks for bumping the alert.

Creepy Jeepy

yw. keep it

Dave gives a warning that there are graphic pictures posted within part XVII... very gruesome pictures of the Black Dahlia murder victim Elizabeth Short.

I am still reading and it's really good but please beware the pictures are truly disturbing...

Good reading so far though and interesting as usual.

bump for those that don't know the next installment is up!

It's too short....but good

Just saw this link today and I read up to Part X. Will get to rest...

Awesome, addictive stuff.

'Let’s suppose, hypothetically speaking, that you are the young man in the photo at the top of this post, and you have recently arrived in Laurel Canyon and now find yourself fronting a band that is on the verge of taking the country by storm. Just a mile or so down Laurel Canyon Boulevard from you lives another guy who also recently arrived in Laurel Canyon, and who also happens to front a band on the verge of stardom. He happens to be married to a girl that you attended kindergarten with, and her dad, like yours, was involved in atomic weapons research and testing (Admiral George Morrison for a time did classified work at White Sands). Her husband’s dad, meanwhile, is involved in another type of WMD research: chemical warfare.



This other guy’s business partner/manager is a spooky ex-Marine who just happens to have a cousin who, bizarrely enough, also fronts a rock band on the verge of superstardom. And this third rock-star-on-the-rise also happens to live in Laurel Canyon, just a mile or two from your house. Just down a couple of other streets, also within walking distance of your home, live two other kids who – wouldn’t you know it? – also happen to front a new rock band. These two kids happened to attend the same Alexandria, Virginia high school that you attended, and one of them also attended Annapolis, just like your dad did, and just like your kindergarten friend’s dad did.



Though almost all of you hail from (or spent a substantial portion of your childhood in) the Washington, D.C. area, you now find yourselves on the opposite side of the country, in an isolated canyon high above the city of Los Angeles, where you are all clustered around a secret military installation. Given his background in research on atomic weapons, your father is probably familiar to some extent with the existence and operations of Lookout Mountain Laboratory, as is the father of your kindergarten friend, and probably the fathers of a few other Laurel Canyon figures as well.



My question here, I guess, is this: what do you suppose the odds are that all of that just came together purely by chance?'

As all good ideas and ideals are : Sabotaged from the inside.

Remember - start any local club or organization... say one that wants to shed light on the local police and provide oversite ... or one that wants to provide oversite of the local school board .

Within days your group or organization will be infiltrated.

And if it has a goal that benefits the community, it will be derailed. Or there will (down the line) be a big embarassing situation which will derail your group. Or, you could even find yourself set up as a likely criminal.

The ways of those in power do not really change.

Whoop eee dooo

The odds are about as good as the odds that the banksters will awake Monday AM and say: "We are sorry. We were wrong! Interest is immoral and unethical. It is the reason wars are carried out, nations attack nations, and humans starve for lack of food. We are changing our ways, and changing them Now!"

Woo-Hoo Dave continues.....

new material added, and I missed it by many days...

wow thanks..

glad people are still interested in this twisted history.

I must say I am a little disappointed in the last two installments, they don't read as well as Dave has done in the past..it feels forced and a bit speedy....


Still I await the next installment.

I did end up buying a book of his regarding MK Ultra which was very good called Programmed to Kill.

Anyway, a bit of a disappointment but I still love Dave and his story.
