Yes...! About the extended family aspect...one of my favorite recordings is "If I Could Only Remember My Name", with David Crosby. Many of the Bay area musicians contributed to this, and, if one really listens, can pick out Neil Young, Jerry Garcia, Joni Mitchell, Grace Slick, and a bunch of others...

Ken Kesey, Merry Pranksters, Tom Wolfe's book, "Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test"...it's all part of the culture of a Grand Dream some of us had...
Reality may have overcome most of the innocence, but the Dream still lives on...
