There is a thread here from a few years ago called "Inside The LC: The Strange But Mostly True Story Of Laurel Canyon And The Birth Of the Hippie Generation". The thread is several pages long, but is a FASCINATING read which details how all of the music idols which were a part of our lives like the Beach Boys, the Mamas and the Papas, and most if not all of the "folk musicians" were supported and guided by Communists trying to undermine the USA by encouraging the same sort of activities. There's quite a lot there about Charles Manson and his "Helter Skelter" philosophy as well.

Scary to see how all the "Free Love" and "Peace" sunshine-filled lifestyles which we all believed that WE were inventing and cultivating and bringing about to change the World into a kinder and gentler place were actually insidious dark plots hatched by black-hearted Communists.

A few of us who grew up in that time did not buy into that counter-culture stuff and saw it for what it was.

But no one listened to a young person who's eyes were open...
