h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

They un-paved paradise in Berkeley in 1969. Apparently, the park's still there.

I found some interesting footage and did a musical collaboration with the unknown harmonica player. (Sorry, no Henry Letterbox-style guitar.)

They should put up a parking lot, right over that bloody harmonica player....

Now, somewhere in my loft is my grandad's old mouth organ.... Should be easy enough...

Nice to see protesters all had nicely ironed shirts back then, bet their shoes positively gleamed.

Yeah - you tend to think of them as scruffy, so I thought the footage was kind of interesting.

It's like when you see early bikers, all neckties and suit jackets

Hard for me to judge, because the looks are so familiar. I still remember that year pretty well.

I think people tend to confuse the 'flower power' people with the activists. Activists tended to be more earnest, less imaginatively dressed, and far more prone to talk you to death. Although the long version of this film has some outdoor theatre in it. Let me find the link for you...

Read the description. I like that they added more politics so it didn't sound too 'hippy dippy'.
