i really don't understand hoffman he was very interesting, the 60's period was very interesting. his death even was mysterious

[rockyrigby]

It's stories like these that make me call bullshit in Lennon supporting Reagan in his last years.

[PtAltmVansanTarr]

Google Jason Li, Vancouver riots- same pointless violence created by same unfulfilled and country hating elite Americans, only thing different is in the 60s they hid behind "causes" so they could get their rocks off beating cops,whereas now the cop would taze them till their brains were coming out their ears....

@pinkledpink I have been there in the 60s - most certainly not park ave -chap- All of Liverpool was obviously

lower working class. I am from USA so my thoughts are from that perspective

Hoffman probably worked for both sides. unwillingly, and paid the price.

@crymethemoon I definetly prefer hippies to yippies

[SuperC888]

Thumbs up if the interviewer's voice grates on your nerves, too!

[mistymonee]

Besides the fact that the interviewer is High as a Kite, lol - Does anybody know if there was something important said @ 4:11 - 4:14 ? Or was that just an audio issue...

[grandmachristine42]

Lo! He's not supposed to laugh inside city limits! In those days there were so many "educational" things about "how to know if your kid"s mind is being destroyed by drugs and he needs to be locked up". The most ominous symptom was "inappropriate laughter". The arrogance of those intellectually/emotionally/spi­ritually stunted fools thinking they could judge what it was appropriate for US to find amusing was indicative of so much . . . . .
