Mirth_June8_2015 - The Monday Morning Memo

“I still have trouble when I think about Chicago (68'). That week at the Convention changed everything I'd ever taken for granted about this country and my place in it… Everytime I tried to tell somebody what happened in Chicago I began crying, and it took me years to understand why…Chicago was the End of the Sixties, for me.

The hippies, who had never really believed they were the wave of the future anyway, saw the election results as brutal confirmation of the futility of fighting the establishment on its own terms. The thrust is no longer for ‘change' or ‘progress' or ‘revolution,' but merely to escape, to live on the far perimeter of a world that might have been.
“

- Hunter S. Thompson
