Today is the 50th anniversary of the ill-fated Altamont Free Festival, which drove a stake through the heart of the Hippie movement with the murder of a concert goer at the hands of the Hell’s Angels.

Rolling Stone’s cover story in the aftermath is graphic and pretty horrific, but a good read.

I recently watched Gimme Shelter with my Dad. We both got the impression it was just terribly organized through and through.
