The Strange but Mostly True Story of Laurel Canyon and the Birth of the Hippie Generation: Part V

 

Parts I - V [Occult music and pop culture >>5924164 ]

 

“Call them freaks, the underground, the counter-culture, flower children or hippies – they are all

loose labels for the youth culture of the 60s …”

 

Barry Miles, author of Hippie

 

“This is how I remember my life. Other folks may not have the same memories, even though

we might have shared some of the same experiences.”

 

So begins David Crosby’s autobiography, Long Time Gone (co-written by Carl Gottlieb). As it turns

out, quite a few other folks seem to remember some people in Crosby’s life who are all but ignored

in the lengthy book. The names are casually dropped only once, and not by Crosby but rather in a

quote from manager Jim Dickson in which he describes the scene at the Sunset Strip clubs when

The Byrds played: “We had them all. We had Jack Nicholson dancing, we had Peter Fonda dancing

with Odetta, we had Vito and his Freakers.”

“Vito was in his fifties, but he had four-way sex with goddesses … He held these clay-sculpting classes

on Laurel Avenue, teaching rich Beverly Hills dowagers how to sculpt. And that was the Byrds’ rehearsal

room. Then Jim Dickson had the idea to put them on at Ciro’s, on the basis that all the freaks would

show up and the Byrds would be their Beatles.”
