But what I /did/ have, was southern rock festivals, Dead concerts, folk festivals all over New England. We were our own pseudo-hippie generation, where we ran around in our gauze midi-dresses, barefoot on the grass, getting rained on, wearing patchouli oil, drinking out of wineskins or sloshing beer all over each other to the beat of Molly Hatchett.

Good times. I think Burning Man took the concept to a whole other level. Good for them, I say! Every generation needs their time to shine, their festive celebration of the chaotic joy of life.

Absolutely.
We wrecked Cinemas, to Bill Haley's 'Rock around the Clock.'
Seemed a good idea at the time!
