[Vision2020] A tribute to...

[Saundra Lund]

Geographically challenged much, Scott?  Altamont is not - and never has been
- part of Tracy, CA, which is in San Joaquin County.  The infamous Altamont
Free Concert took place in Alameda County, which is why the Alameda County
Sherriff's Office investigated all four of the deaths - including Meredith
Hunter's murder - and why Passaro's murder trial was in Alameda County
rather than San Joaquin County.

 

As for your claim that Meredith Hunter has been "completely forgotten" . . .
well, that claim is as wrong as your geographical knowledge.  I've certainly
never forgotten him or the infamous concert that took place just a few miles
from my home in Alameda County just shy of a month before we moved there
right after my ninth birthday.  Too, I know for a fact that Hunter's murder
was reinvestigated in recent years (even though Passaro was long dead)
because I remember my brother telling me about it - he works for the ACSO -
and there are still a few old timers around the department who've never
forgotten, either.

 

You wrote to Tom:

"I'd encourage you to 'maybe dig a little deeper instead of constantly
shooting from the hip', but there would be an echo in here."

 

What's that saying about stones and people who live in glass houses???

Meredith Hunter.  Completely forgotten, he was the sacrificial lamb on the
day that the music died December 6, 1969 - 45 years ago today - at the
infamous Altamont Free Concert in Tracy California.  He would now be 63
years old.  RIP.

"Oh, and as I watched him on the stage,
My hands were clenched in fists of rage.
No Angel born in Hell,
Could break that Satan's spell."

"And as the flames climbed high into the night,
To light that sacrificial rite.
I saw Satan laughing with delight.
The day the music died.
He was singing 'Bye, bye Miss American pie...'"
