Summer of Love: 40 Years Later By Joel Selvin
Source: San Francisco Chronicle May 20, 2007 San Francisco, CA*
By the time the fabled Summer of Love hit San Francisco 40 years ago, the party was already over in the Haight-Ashbury.
Yet the mythology of that summer in 1967 has never disappeared. The San Francisco hippie, dancing in Golden Gate Park with long hair flowing, has become as much of an enduring American archetype as the gunfighters and cowboys who roamed the Wild West. More importantly, the rise of '60s counterculture has had a significant impact on our culture today.

The Summer of Love resonates in strip mall yoga classes, pop music, visual art, fashion, attitudes toward drugs, the personal computer revolution, and the current mad dash toward the greening of America. While some of the counterculture's dreams came true, others, particularly the movement's idealistic politics, evaporated like the sweet-smelling pot smoke that saturated the air that summer

Don’t Go Back To San Francisco By Michael Walker *
CN Source: New York Times June 09, 2007 Los Angeles, CA*
Shake the stems and seeds out of the Persian rug and put some flowers in your hair: the Summer of Love is 40 years old. The patchouli-scented commemoration has fixated on San Francisco, the Summer of Love’s blissful nexus. What wretched Midwestern longhair-in-waiting in the summer of ’67 could resist the siren of Scott McKenzie’s Top 5 hit, “San Francisco (Be Sure to Wear Flowers in Your Hair)”? Untold VW microbuses from Ann Arbor to Amherst chugged west on little more than the song’s purple-hazy promise: the tribes were gathering, and they were gathering in San Francisco.

Groovy: Summer of Love, Message of Love By Paul E. Anna

Groovy. It's a word I'll be using all summer long. It's my way of paying tribute to the 40th anniversary of the Summer of Love. Yes, it was 40 years ago today that Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play. Actually, it was 40 years ago last Friday, June 1, 1967, that the Beatles released "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band" in the U.K., commencing a summer that would change everything.

"...we condemned them, our children, for seeking a different future.
We hated them for their flowers, for their love,
and for their unmistakeable rejection of every hideous,
mistaken compromise that we had made throughout our hollow,
money-bitten, frightened, adult lives."
--June Jordan

Wildwood Weed by Jim Stafford
...
All good things gotta come to an end,
And it's the same with the wildwood weed.
One day this feller from Washington came by,
And he spied and turned white as a sheet.
Then they dug and they burned,
And they burned and they dug,
And they killed all our cute little weeds.
Then they drove away,
We just smiled and waved ..........
Sittin' there on that sack of seeds!

Y'all come back now, hear?
