The Beautiful People ? .
Of course the most famous person to be there was John Lennon seen here arriving with John Dunbar, Lennon had dropped acid earlier in the night and looks quite spaced. |
The fliers said they would be there , but were they ? Well , that would depend on your definition. Anyone who expected a cavalacade of long hair, beads, bellbottoms and paisley, would be disappointed, at least if one went by the sights on sees in the film of the event . Undoubtedly many of London's growing hippie population were there, but they were outnumbered by those, who , at least in terms of their clothing and hairdos, had yet to " get on the bus" . In fact mod clothing and short hair seemed more the norm.
But , as we see below, both young and old attended , although neither of these folks should be considered the average attendee. Its sobering to contemplate that the little girl would now be at least 40 and the longhair , who is called John Nicholson and who contacted us last year ( 2010), is now 70. Time flies and none of us get any younger.......--- of course it goes without saying that anyone the organisers considered to be ugly were shown the door right sharpish.....:-)
