Summer Of Love Still Turning 40
Blaming "a disturbed person or one of Nixon's retired dirty tricksters" for spreading rumors about a cancellation, Sunday's Summer of Love celebration is still taking place at Speedway Meadows in Golden Gate Park in San Francisco.
Moby Grape will still be reuniting, Country Joe will be counting, and musicians associated with San Francisco back when Jerry Garcia could have run for mayor and won will be on hand.

Hi, I'm the artist Michael Bowen and I put the Human Be-In together in 1967 in golden Gate park on Jan 14 after three years hard prepratory work about which I am writing a book. I created the Human Be-In along with my then new friend Allen Cohen. At that time we co-published the SF Oracle. After a couple of issues, I went to Mexico and he continued on. As far as the Nixon dirty trickters, cant you just see them wheeling around somewhere in their wheelchairs like somehow still living dead churning out, there is no Summer of Love, there is no Be-In on Sept. 2 in Golden Gate Park? I searched the net and i could find no such statement by anybody. Only a statement like yours which is a statement about a statement. As for me, the artist Michael Bowen, I hope a million people turn out and have enough guts this time to demand our return of our basic civil rights. Have a party? Right, create a new party. The return our civil rithts party. I want mine back.
Michael Bowen, somewhere in Europe
