Ah yes mate well said - some very funky goings on.
It involves the decade before but just re-watched this old vid examining the 1960's 'counter culture' and there are some pretty surprising (and factual) family connections being brought up - apparently they run pretty deep in military/intel operations.
• Pretty fascinating interview below with the late David McGowan discussing his book 'Weird Scenes Inside the Canyon : Laurel Canyon, Covert Ops & The Dark Heart of the Hippie Dream'.
Quote:What we learn from Weird Scenes is that not only were the movers of the 60’s musical revolution mysteriously concentrated in the very exclusive Laurel Canyon area, but what bound all of them were three common threads dangling against the backdrop of one highly curious phenomenon.
•Family connections to the military or intelligence community
•Connections to the occult
•A long chain of mysterious deaths and brutal murders
Laurel Canyon was home to a top secret military intelligence film studio whose presence and purpose remain largely unknown to this day.
