There was a time when Southern California’s youth sought to do battle with “The Man” in a theme-park-like setting. In the spring of 1970, Disneyland had just relaxed its dress code for guests (meaning that teenagers with long hair and dressed in hippy garb were no longer automatically turned away at the turnstiles). That made the Happiest Place on Earth a very tempting target for the Youth International Party, which was this theatrically inclined offshoot of the free speech and anti-war movement of the 1960s who were always looking for new ways to mock the establishment.
This week, a look a an attempted and failed invasion of Disneyland.
TTFN, Fred.
