“Monk and The Blue Flu @page { margin-bottom: 5.000000pt; margin-top: 5.000000pt; } 5 Mr. Monk and the Astrologer Ever since the mid-1960s, Haight-Ashbury has been mythologized as ground zero of the counterculture movement, home of psychedelic drugs, free-spirited sex, flower children, and the Grateful Dead. A lot of effort went into maintaining the illusion that it hasn’t changed, even though Jerry Garcia is dead, the Vietnam War is over, and Mick Jagger is getting the senior-citizen discount a...t Denny’s. The Haight today is the sixties packaged and sanitized for retail sale. The street is lined with stores selling vintage clothing, “underground” comics, used records, and incense and crystals; and there are even a few head shops where you can buy tie-dyed shirts and Deadhead souvenirs for the folks back home in Wichita. What little edge there is comes from the tattoo parlors, bondage emporiums, and stores with fetish paraphernalia, but let’s face it, even kink has become mainstream these days.MoreLessRead More Read Less
