Summer of 69, 14 years old, stoned out of my mind, could life be so fine.

[pigurine]

No, simply making a fact, I turned out alright, relatively speaking.

It was a magic summer, and I willl never forget it.

[wes mantooth]

I love smoking weed and I hate Obama. Thought you guys were for freedom?

[Gasman Gazr]

I was 9 yrs old when this song was released. Still love it as much as when I heard it for the very first time.

no  they don't Michael whut-a-shame

[Michael Davis]

A little-known fact is that the quirky riff that anchors McGuinn's guitar in this tune (starts at 0:12) was inspired by a John Coltrane riff from "A Love Supreme". And while we're on the subject, people who are anti-pot simply don't know what the fuck they're talking about, do they?

[Christopher Martinez]

all this hatred towards "hippies" and "dope" is the side effect of chronic alcoholism. Drunkards are afflicted with a disease, which causes them to hate black presidents (rightfully elected) and anything inspired, creative. Except for Hank Williams, John Wayne and George Bush. uh oh. All alcoholics. Taxpayers footed Ronald Reagans decades of dementia. uh oh. Rush Limbaugh? uh oh! oxicotin abuser and shill for the right wing obama haters kkk offspring boozer moonshine cacanada.

rust never sleeps

&the OCD haters & Holier-Than thou caste&class tripping , abomination denomination strident are blind to Love is God.

or as Ambrose Bierce had it:

"Puritanism - the haunting fear that someone, somewhere may be happy."

so

lets be gentle & forgiving of the sinner with those of fragile faith

&kill'em with kindness & love

&not judge them.

[Penosios]

Bragging about what?

[Bruce Dunkle]

Quit bellyaching and listen to what a fantastic song this is. The band was really sharp here. Needless to say, McGuinn's 12-string is the focus, but Michael Clarke's drumming is fucking great!
