I’ve tried not to link to things from Boingboing.net, I don’t see much point in becoming a mirror for another blog, but this one has got to be seen.

CBC footage from Sep 4th, 1967 documenting Yorktown, Toronto in the bloom of the hippy era. It’s yer standard 60’s documentary regarding hippies. Except, early in the show, they get a little tour of the area from a certain 19 year old hippie Bill Gibson. Yes, it’s THAT Bill Gibson.

Here’s the link.

When the show first aired, the viewers must have assumed he spoke sooo slowly and lowly because he was high on them drugs. We now better know. He was thinner then, if that’s possible.
