What led to the DEMISE of Haight Ashbury’s Hippie Society of Peace and Love in the 1960’s? Grateful Dead, Jefferson Airplane, Janis Joplin

Imagine living in a free spirited place where you walk outside and hear a loud boisterous laugh. You look over to see Jerry Garcia sitting on the steps of his Victorian house with a group of musicians and friends talking and laughing.

After you stop by for a brief conversation, you head down the street when you come across your neighbor, Janis Joplin who is on her way over to Garcia’s place. After a brief chat you turn the corner and head over to see friends jamming in the basement at their hangout on Page street. Once inside you sit down and have a spirited conversation with Grace Slick and Paul Kanter. After several hours that feel like minutes you are feeling pretty good and you bid them farewell and head down the street to your favorite coffee shop, the Blue Unicorn where you come across a group of hippies singing. It’s another laid back day 1967 in Haight Ashbury as you wonder to yourself what the Summer has in store for you and your neighborhood.
