re: #439 Slumbering Behemoth

Holy shit. Much respect. Did you get to see MC5?

Unfortunately not. I just watched from my hotel balcony as the cops beat the living shit out of the hippie hordes and anyone else they could catch. I could hear the truncheons on bare flesh from a couple of hundred feet away. I did see what appeared to be two cops fighting briefly before others broke them up. Never did find out what that was about. There was a lot of tear gas around. The slightest whiff of it today will bring back vivid memories. I was 18 and had longish hair so I didn’t dare go out on the street. I figured the cops wouldn’t stop to read my Young Republicans card before they bashed my skull in.
