My girlfriend bought a yellow T-shirt at Target that proclaims, in faux-hippie font, "Summer Of Love". The tag inside the neck contains a fascimile of the original Woodstock logo. Apparently this is part of Target's big Woodstock promotion.

Correct me if I'm wrong (I'm not a baby boomer, thank God) but wasn't the so-called "summer of love" the summer of 1967, not 1969? Or is this another case of people who were around in the 1960's not remembering the 1960's?

'67.

Absolutely 1967: "If you're going to San Francisco, be sure to wear some flowers in your hair...."

I was only nine at the time but from everything I've read it was '67.

Personally, "Summer of Love" makes me think of the B-52s song.

It was '67, the release of Sgt. Pepper and also the Monterey Pop Festival.

67 was the Summer of Love from a sloganeer standpoint, but by 67 the scene in SF was ugly. The real deal was 66 as far as the Bay Area is concerned.

well, IMHO '65 til about ''75 were all summers of love.
