Look, Do you know me?

 

I hitched out to San Fran in 71 and hitched up to Wheeler's to visit a friend from memphis who was living there. It was a cool place. Lots of neat dwellings and mellow people. Annd some strange ones too.

 

Dear Wazoo,

I was at Wheeler's Ranch a bit before you made your visit, I think. Just before or after a lot of crazy stuff went on. Wheeler's ol' lady had a baby and they made an omelette with the placenta and ate it! Like wild animals do! That is... eat the afterbirth! But without the eggs. I guess it is supposed to help the mom return to normal. Talk about strange!

Then there was the famous raid by the pigs. They flew their jack-booted thugs into the ranch by helicopter to slide down ropes and catch the draft dodgers. What a bunch of assholes. The pigs that is. Wanted to send more 18-20 year old boys to die in Vietnam. Just like today with the assholes in power, they want the young boys and now the young girls too, preferable poor and not to bright, to die for an illegal and immoral "war".

They had just bulldozed Lou Gotlieb's Morningstar ranch not far away in Sebastopol, if I spelled that right? It doesn't quite look right to me. Does anybody know? Let me know then.

To be continued.......

 

Dear Past, Present and Future Hippies,

What are you doing here? What have you done to better our lives here in the USSA, yes, USSA like USSR (do you remember?) and the world? You sit there in front of your computer and you type messages from one to another and you change nothing.

 

dude its those same people who demonstrated who are now causeing so much trouble,not because they became politions, but because they became corperations, and c ,s n, and y were upset about what we were doing to are own people here at home, I have a great deal of faith in this new generation because they are armed with a new weapon, knowledge. and they will not be so easyly placated
the age of aquarius will come again
love your country, fear your goverment

 

Dr jackalope,
Did I miss something there?What was that masked man saying>HaHawas that you getting an attitude or what do you mean "we all sit there in front of our computers typing messages to one another"....Isn't that what hip forums is?I think personally I try to do what I can to better this world,even if it's just getting someone to smile or laugh or feel something.....it's all in our perception.And if we would change the world we would start with ourselves,brother.Maybe you are frustrated with the way of society.I know I get that way.What a mess some things are.But we got to have faith and love one another and take responsibility for the reactions of our actions...God Speed Pilgrim..

 

Dear Audreyanne,

Thank you for your reply. Optimism:

Main Entry: op·ti·mism
Pronunciation: 'äp-t&-"mi-z&m
Function: noun
Etymology: French optimisme, from Latin optimum, noun, best, from neuter of optimus best; akin to Latin ops power —more at OPULENT
Date: 1759
1 : a doctrine that this world is the best possible world
2 : an inclination to put the most favorable construction upon actions and events or to anticipate the best possible outcome
- op·ti·mist /-mist/ noun
- op·ti·mis·tic /"äp-t&-'mis-tik/ adjective
- op·ti·mis·ti·cal·ly /-ti-k(&-)lE/ adverb

Optimism is good. But without action it is dead. The way to change is through action. Most folks these days take no action toward change. If we really want to better this world then we need to take action. That can include sitting behind the secure world of one's own personal computer. But to really affect change then we need go beyond that. We need to contact all of our elected officials. We need to take to the streets. We need to call and email all of our friends to do the same.

To be continued....Peace and Love, Roger.

 

My Dear steffan or hunter,

Or whatever your name may be? My I suggest that you, at the very least, go back to elementary school, if you ever attended school, and obtain your eighth grade diploma? Anyone can see from your above post that you lack the basic skills needed for effective commuication in the English language. This includes grammer, spelling and basic composition.

You obviously have no knowledge of the subject matter you have replied to and can't offer any real options to our dilemma.

Main Entry: di·lem·ma
Pronunciation: d&-'le-m& also dI-
Function: noun
Etymology: Late Latin, from Late Greek dilEmmat-, dilEmma, probably back-formation from Greek dilEmmatos involving two assumptions, from di- + lEmmat-, lEmma assumption —more at LEMMA
Date: 1523
1 : an argument presenting two or more equally conclusive alternatives against an opponent
2 a : a usually undesirable or unpleasant choice <faces this dilemma: raise interest rates and slow the economy or lower them and risk serious inflation> b : a situation involving such a choice <here am I brought to a very pretty dilemma; I must commit murder or commit matrimony —George Farquhar>; broadly : PREDICAMENT <lords and bailiffs were in a terrible dilemma —G. M. Trevelyan>
3 a : a problem involving a difficult choice <the dilemma of "liberty versus order" —J. M. Burns> b : a difficult or persistent problem <unemployment … the great central dilemma of our advancing technology —August Heckscher>
- dil·em·mat·ic /"di-l&-'ma-tik also -"dI-/ adjective
usage Although some commentators insist that dilemma be restricted to instances in which the alternatives to be chosen are equally unsatisfactory, their concern is misplaced; the unsatisfactoriness of the options is usually a matter of how the author presents them. What is distressing or painful about a dilemma is having to make a choice one does not want to make. The use of such adjectives as terrible, painful, and irreconcilable suggests that dilemma is losing some of its unpleasant force. There also seems to be a tendency especially in sense 3b toward applying the word to less weighty problems <solved their goaltending dilemma —Pat Calabria>.

Let me know then.] It looks alright to me but the Ranch wasn't there....it was in Occidental...coming down the hill from Wheeler's go left if I remember correctly...left there in 77 when one day i walked into my camp at the back of the land at Wheelers and found morningstar steve disassembling my tipi and putting it into the back of a pick up truck....seems Bill was pretty pissed at him for destroying wildlife so he was asked to leave the land so morningstar steve decided we would go to the City to see Lou....I still remember clearly that day sitting on the little hill in front of the garden with Bill telling me he didn't want me to leave and stupid me saying " oh but i love him"...Bill said no you don't...lol little did i know then but that's another story...i should have listened to Bill but then my stories and memories would not be the same ...

 

Audreyanne...hey that's my daughters name.....June 1, 1977 I sat next to Eden at the kitchen table, Ranger was standing on the other side of that table as I was telling them it was time for me to leave california...was heading down to the new mexico gathering. I said I probably wouldn't be back...to that Ranger replied "oh you will come back" but 28 years later and i have only been back to the City for an adult adhd convention....that was it ....I have never forgotten that close sister and brother of course and just today recieved a e-mail from Ranger....this is how I found this forum and by the way or just to say it because i want to...It was all shameless and jomies fault that i ended up at the church of the good earth....actually they saved me from where ever i would have gone if I stayed in Anaheim....I still love you Mary even if....i haven't moved to Texas yet but hey perhaps....plus i hear a rumor Texas was going to become a separtate country shortly and everyone I love most these days lives in Texas...

 

Hi there you beautiful sweet woman. In a way it feels like you are back, the "back" I spoke of then is a place in the heart as much or more so than any piece of ground. I love and care about you in all the ways I tried to show/tell you then and the bottom line is in my heart you'll always be family.
BTW; This includes you Mary, if I don't hear from ya'll again soon I'm gonna regret hookin' ya'll up again! *LOL*
PPS: Out of Occidental on Coleman Valley Road and there is still a May Day Reunion each year.

 

I knew Mystry both in the Height in general and when he stayed for a brief while at one of our houses at Good Earth. From Wheelers Pancho, Baker Bart, Coyote, Rita, and Sunshine were brothers & sisters equally a part of Wheelers and Good Earth. I also remember Silent Steve and his runs to town for icecream.

 

I heard Silent Steve died from cancer last yr.. I knew all you hippies from the haight (mostly) and a lot that went up to wheelers, and morningstar.. I lived at Good Earth Commune for several yrs and am delighted to be reunited with them now..
Rita you came to the Haight with me and Jomie aka heifers_calf in 67 or 68.. I remember your black ford Galaxie and that you gave it to me when you left for the rushing river? to open your resturant, The Primrose Cafe.
I remember also Rita, that GA GA shot it up on the side of the interstate when him and jimmy the painter were taking my sister Marty to the airport after jerry beat her head in with a shotgun and threw her down the stairs of upstairs of underhouse.
I belive it was Jimmy Count and GaGa that was there, Gaga shot the car and the pigs in the sky were circling the galaxie with their spot light on. They ( jimmy count and gaga ) split and me n Marty hitched a ride to the airport. They followed the dudes back to the Haight and BUSTED Jimmy for excaping Quentin a few yrs eariler.
I heard that Jimmy was living down on the so cali coast.. probbly Venis Beach.. thats where his old stompings grounds were and his mama lived close to there, we stoped in to see her one day when me, jimmy and Diane went to visit our folks. Jimmy's mom in LA, Dianes peeps in Woodland Hills and my folks in Anahiem. That was a trip..
Ranger me and Rita hooked up again over a year ago, she saw my message in the Diggers forum. The Spud contacted me and the Wild Bill and now you.. the Blessings keep pouring in.
I remember when Sunshine got hit with a brick or a bottle on Cole St and everyone was on the street and a roit almost broke out. I went up to Ash Valley right after that with Jimmy to see Diane and Shills and our other bros n sis's up there.
The Haight was getting hot by then and the Black Panthers had moved in. John the Barber joined the family and brought in the black panthers and the Good Earth was no longer a place to call home.
The Blue Meenies came right after I got back from the Valley and that's when the Pigs came in and busted us all up.. I went to jail for 5 days and they took jomie to child haven. When I got out they wouldn't let me have jomie back, so me and amazon linda went up there and got him at gun point.
We fled to the Oak street house and CPS and the pigs came looking for us. Someone grabed me and Jom and took us out the excape route.. out a window over fewnces throgh one house out another window and into toothless jimmy's and dorys house.
We were then placed in a trunk and slipped into, what was mouse mans truck's name.. anyway went got down the block and around the corner and they let us out of the trunk and we drove by the cops on the way to the airport to get me n jom back to so cali. it was scary.

Dr, there is a very strong possibility that we have met.

 

Got busted by the time the story got to me it was that Ga Ga and Jimmy were on a bus and someone stepped on his toe and GaGa pulled iron thereby getting Painter Jimmy busted. Sounded possible at the time. *L* It still amazes me that after escaping from Quentin Jimmy lived for at least two years at the hottest corner in the Haight and became well known as a mural painter until he went somewhere with GaGa! A community "safty commitee" consisting of Bull (Tarus Larry) and a few of the boys later 'asked" GaGa to leave town.

 

I moved to San Francisco in 1985 and lived there for four years. I used to spend my summers there during the late 70s and early 80s before deciding to live there. By the time the 80s were ending, the dot com made housing impossible to afford and jobs scarce to find. I go back two or three times a year.


I never did drugs or get drunk. The only reasons I ever went to the Haight were to look around Mendel's Far Out Fabrics go to All You Knead for breakfast (or the Pork Store Cafe) and to buy tea and coffee and a tea and coffee shop that is now -- sadly -- out of business.

 

We just finished our 28th annual Haight Ashbury Street Fair (usually in June) which in effect is an annual reunion bringing togeather much of the old Haight each year. Back stage main stage (west stage) you wil find many of the folks from the Lyon Street House and the Shady Groove/US Cafe the group that along with Good Earth Commune and others started the fair.

For those of you with a more northern bent we have the Oregon Country Fair in July just a few days after the Rainbow gathering. Again many of the old family will be there.

Ya'll come on by now and welcome home!

 

Ranger, They were on the Haight Street Bus, yes I recall they just got off the bus coming from where they shot up me and Rita's car and they caught the bus back to the Haight and me n Marty went on to the airport. Someone did step on GaGa's foot and he pulled the piece he was firing at the pig in the sky and when they stepped off the busthe pigs surrounded them and carted Jimmy off to City Prison and then on back to Quinten. Me and Ellen the Felon and another lady went to visit Jimmy there and brought him a bag that we passed when I gave him a big wet one. That was the last I saw of Jimmy. He was like my brother.. I wrote him for a few years and he sent me some of his art work. I lost contact with him and I have tried to goggle him all over the place.. same went for GE and now.. wooohooo I have found my lost tribe.. Thank you Goddess.
The Memories.. Thay are just too vivid..
