[Vision2020] A tribute to...

[Scott Dredge]

I'm definitely geographically challenged which is why I rely heavily on GPS, Apple Maps, and Google Maps.  I had actually looked up the address of the Altamont Speedway which is listed as:

17001 Midway Rd, Tracy, CA 95391

Here's the reference:

My comment of 'completely forgotten' was a purposely written to emphasize the main point of the video 'grave 63, lot c.' Hunter Meredith didn't have so much as a headstone marking for nearly 30 years after his death.

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???

Subject: [Vision2020] A tribute to... 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...'"
