Altamont part 2
The article in the last issue was written, because of deadline pressure, less than 24 hours after it all came down.
“There’s always someone you can bleed on”
“There was a miniature society set up of upwards of 300,000 people. It was supposedly a society of the new generation, the love generation, the brave new world, the children of the future. As far as I’m concerned, I don’t want to live in a society like the one I saw at Altamont.“
That was Wes ”Scoop“ Nisker, KSAN-FM News Director, the evening after the Rolling Stones Free Concert at Altamont Speedway. In a state of shock, like everyone else who had been there. Me, too. The article in the last issue was written, because of deadline pressure, less than 24 hours after it all came down, when everything was still swirling around unclear and scary. It’s been over two weeks, now, and although some things have been clarified it begins to look as if a lot of what went down will never be completely clear. It was a bum trip for sure, but definitely a trip. Can you remember all the stuff that happened to you the last time you dropped acid?
