If You're Going to the Exhibition. . .

. . . be sure to wear some flowers in your hair.

New York museum recreates Summer of Love (minus the drugs) - Yahoo! News: "NEW YORK (AFP) - Forty years after a generation of young Americans turned on, tuned in, and dropped out during the Summer of Love, a New York museum is hoping to recreate the psychedelic intensity of the period.

The exhibition at the Whitney Museum features posters, artwork, light shows, trippy album covers and experimental film from a counter-cultural movement that brought together peace activists, musicians, hippies and artists.

Curator Christoph Grunenberg said he hoped the exhibition would either provide a trip down memory lane or help recreate the 1960s for those who, for various reasons, couldn't remember them."

Without the drugs there was no Summer of Love. Believe me, I was here (I think).

Well, you could always take your own stash to the exhibition.

While the pot is more potent now, careful since the penicillin is less efficacious...
