2016 Postmortem
In reply to the discussion: Hillary now claims she was a "protester" back in the 60's & 70's! Did she just make that up? [View all]Zorra
(27,670 posts)that Abbie brought up from Cambridge for "guidance" the night before. Abbie said the fuckin' fascist pigs had tanks by the side if the road on the way in. Allen was straight, and reciting poetry and doing Omms. Suddenly all hell broke loose when Nixon's agents provocateurs let loose with some rocks and bottles at the pigs. I remember Jerry grabbing the mike on the Podium, shouting something like "Don't go down there, this is total shit!" before the pigs hit us with the tear gas. National Guard was all over the place...a band was rockin' the Green...and then, the girl, surrounded by a strange white light, (it could have been Hillary), appeared out of nowhere and flashed the peace sign from the podium. The band stopped playing in this surreal moment when time stopped - and that's exactly when Ingall's blew (Nixon's people again), glass and concrete flyin' everywhere.
The mystery girl in the white light disappeared into the screams and thick smoke. I looked for her later, to no avail. No one knew who she was.
Was it her? Or was it just the Owsley playing tricks with my head?
I guess we'll never really know.
