As the influence of flower power and of the bands that grew out of the San Francisco scene became more pervasive, so did pot smoking and, at the large outdoor rock festivals that superseded the acid tests, smoking pot became almost obligatory. During the hippie era, which was formally inaugurated at the Monterey festival in June 1967, climaxed at Woodstock, and came to an abrupt end at Altamont in December 1969, smoking pot ceased to be a minority activity. For a generation of young people, igniting a joint was a defiant, quasi-political act indicating dissatisfaction with conventional society, identification with the hippie values of peace and love, and a sure-fire way to worry your parents.

As the influence of flower power and of the bands that grew out of the San Francisco scene became more pervasive, so did pot smoking. Years later, some random *ss ytmnd pops out of nowhere which fails on at least 3 levels: It includes sports, it includes a lame *ss song, and it does not produce lulz. If I wasn't so sure that I was being trolled, I would give this a 1.
