So, we remember the 60's, and we were there.

This "you're gonna smell it everywhere" is a vicious rumor IMO... "it depends" is a good answer...

I'm reminded of Laugh In. Saw an episode recently and was surprised how much psychedelic stuff there was.
Then there were the Mopar car colors of Sublime, etc. And Mod tops.

In the late 70s I was in the Navy stationed @ Vallejo in NorCal. There was a pretty good bar we went to that had good local bands and also ones that were big but not so much anymore. Moby Grape was one of them. I went up and asked them to play "Motorcycle Irene", but they said they didn't do that one anymore. The Rio in Rodeo, CA; it was a repurposed movie theater.
Good times with my buddies from the boat. I had a '73 Mach 1, 351CJ, 4 sp car back then that for some reason went through a lot of rear tires.

Born in '53 so I'm tuned in to the references of that 60s era. Used to be a huge Doors fan. In fact, my handle is a shout-out to them in a way. Mid-late '90s after a lot of research, I came across the Alta Cienega Motel on La Cienega in Hollywood CA. Morrison used to live in room #32.
When I "found" it, it was just another dive motel that showed its age mainly in all the beer stains (I hope) in the rug. A real dump. Owners had no idea about room #32. Some years later, they made some sort of dumba$$ shrine out of the room. Covered in graffiti, a poster or two, a plaque on the door "Jim Morrison Memorial Room" and a jacked-up price turned it into a pilgrimage site for people born long after the demise of The Doors.
When I found it, I could still the voices in the air as "the cars hissed by my window"...

I wondered about your handle, but never made the connection.
I am also a Doors fan, and have their Doors album in both the original version on LP as well as the remastered one - obviously digital. But my wife isn't that big of a fan, so I wait until she's not with me to really crank it up when Light My Fire comes on.
Don't know that I saw Tricky Dicky on Laugh In. But I don't know how I could have missed it.
