the trivia question of the day

[chideltjen]

The local Starbucks I go to has a daily "Question of the day" and if you answer correctly you get a free coffee.

Today's question is bugging me: "In 1969, a "free" event was held and came at the end of the "hippie" movement. What was the name of the event?"

Now my initial answer was Woodstock, in the summer of '69. But that's not the right answer. I don't really need coffee, I am just curious to know what other big event happened in 1969 and involved hippies.

Any guesses?

I was born!!!!!!!

But I bet my dad would argue that that wasn't exactly a "free" event...........

I am going to make a guess that they are referring to the Stones' free Altamont concert, Dec. 24, 1969.
