SFist Tonight
Seeing as how the Summer of Love was the single most important event in the history of time and space, we thought it would be delightful of us to review a smattering of Summer of Love anniversary reviews for you. In no particular order, discover the music, elderly genitalia, and abundance of ATMs you missed.
-- Beyond Chron: Goes into detail about that guy who sang that anti-Vietnam war song prefaced by a spelling lesson on the dirtiest of dirty words? Or something like that? Also, didn't like the overwhelming vendors and automated tellers.
-- Bluoz: MP3s of all of the SoL Anniversary performers from the New Riders of the Purple Sage to Jefferson Starship Airplane.
-- CurbedSF: No SoL anniversary review, thus: Communists.
-- SF Civic Center: Describes event as "perfectly charming," publishes senior citizen cock shot, shows someone sporting a tie-dye t-shirt while holding what appears to be a marijuana smoking device. Daring. But not really.
-- SF Gate: More desexualizing, but far less horrifying, senior citizen skin shots; more mobile device hate.
-- Left In SF: Lots of colorful parasols, evidence of non-Caucasian types in attendance.
-- honeyee: Pictures proving that Summer of Lovers adore small-font text on their signs, bumper sticks, and shirts, too, just like other psychotic lunatics.
-- SFBG: Image of a natural redhead at SoL, who, as of this afternoon, is probably dead of skin cancer. RIP, sister.
-- Reuters: Conducts interview confirming that someone from the Doors is still alive and kicking.
The winner: Well, if his MP3 selection comes loaded with "Nothing’s Gonna Stop Us Now", Bluoz, of course. Otherwise, the terrorists.
