one of the problem with popular culture and especially when discuss the popular culture of the 1970s and be that mass medium especially television be usually about four year behind underground medium and primarily music . many people think the woodstock generation remain important throughout the 1970s while actually and it be all over at altamont in 1970. by 1972 and underground rock or the counterculture have move east to england and lead zepplin and black sabbath and and david bowie and early metal head and the so called glam rocker and who be all peace and love not . neither and in a darkly different vein and be charles manson family . this obvious pilot for a television show ( that and thankfully and be never pick up by the network ) be attempt to come to term with a culture that be already as wither a yesterday flower . the script must have be lie around a few year by the time it be produce and writer carlino have already achieve recognition for tough mafia revenge tale . and the cultural reference be all to easy rider and woodstock ( 1969 ) . the music reference on the soundtrack be actually early and 1966/67 at woodstock hendrix and can heat and and sly and the family stone have blast this kind of folk pop into oblivion . the movie be about a middle class family that go on the road in order to meet hippy . wow and man and farout and outasight and it a groovy mind blow happen of a bag . however and politics count for nothing vietnam . some place in asia and right . this average ( mean stale and vacuous ) tv movie be only redeem by jeff bridge surprisingly mature performance a the young college drop out who convince his parent and grandma to wouldiscover ( hippie ) america . all the rest of the performance be standard tv fair by standard tv actor of the time . the director avail himself of some nice location cinematography and but otherwise the film be a poor way to spend 90 minute . i know it be all over when sal mineo remark of a young runaway ( who tell the other character they be not really there ) represent she a latent existentialist . wow and far out and groovy . a couple extra point for be o bad it funny and but if you do not care about the 70 tv version of the 60 and stay away .
