Better Red Dog than dead - Notes from the Neon Babylon - Opinions - June 25, 2015

This past weekend, June 20/21 was quite the time in Virginia City. No, it wasn't a celebration of camels, tasty testicles, or Mark Twain, but a proper look back at Nevada's very real connection to the Psychedelic Revolution that bloomed in San Francisco in those oh-so-heady '60s.
