    Born & raised in San Jose. I was 11 in 67 and I was shocked when I went to the Haight Ashbury district with my folks. 8 years later I had my own band and had turned into a freak myself. What a blast to have ridden in on the coat tails of the counter culture. I consider myself lucky to have caught a glimpse of it and to have actually graduated in 75, unscathed!

    One of my favorites from The Kinks.
    This song was overshadowed by their other hits.
    Great cover by TCW.
    HBO, you're not like everybody else.

    In 1969, when I was seven, my sister and I wandered into a hippie music festival, at a recreational facility owned by Winthrop College known as "the farm". "The farm" was adjacent to the neighborhood I grew up in. The festival was three weeks after Woodstock on Labor Day weekend, if memory serves. The Chocolate Watchband was one of the acts. I think their girlfriends took me and my sister on the VIP backstage experience. It was quite a day in my life. I never trusted anybody with a crew-cut after that day. The Chocolate Watchband had a song called "I'm Not Like Everybody Else" from 68.

    I won't take clothes that are hand-me-downs
    And make out a smile, though I wear a frown
    And I won't take it all lying down
    'Cause once I get started I go to town
    I'm not like everybody else!
    No, I'm not like everybody else!
    I'm not like everybody else!
    No, I'm not like everybody else!
    Cos I don't want to walk through life like everybody else
    I don't want to live my life like everybody else
    I won't say that I feel fine like everybody else
    Cos I'm not like everybody else!
    No, I'm not like everybody else!
    But darling, you know that I love you true
    Confess all my sins if you want me to
    But there's one thing that I will say to you
    That you want to love me the all life through
    I'm not like everybody else!
    No, I'm not like everybody else!
    I'm not like everybody else!
    No, I'm not like everybody else!
    I don't want to walk trough life like everybody else
    I don't want to live my life like everybody else
    I won't say that I feel fine like everybody else
    I'm not like everybody else!
    But I'm not like everybody else!
    Like everybody else (like everybody else!)
    Like everybody else (like everybody else!)
    Like everybody else (like everybody else!)
    Like everybody else (like everybody else!)
    (Like everybody else!)
    (Like everybody else!)

    But there's one thing that I will say to you
    That you want to love my all life through
    I'm not like everybody else!
    No, I'm not like everybody else!
    I'm not like everybody else!
    No, I'm not like everybody else!
    I say, and I don't want to walk trough life like everybody else
    I don't want to live my life like everybody else
    I won't say that I feel fine like everybody else
    I'm not like everybody else!
    I'm not like everybody else!
    Like everybody else (like everybody else!)
    Like everybody else (like everybody else!)

      Hehe that's exactly what I said. There was definitely a dark side to the Haight Ashbury Scene. Many bikers and vets were unable to integrate into the free love vibe, due to life experience, abusive upbringing and traumatic childhood events, whatever, and railed against it at every chance. The images of Hell's Angels beating back the hippie crowd at Altamont with clubs comes to mind.

    Yeah cool cover but Kinks original is the best. The Chocolate Watchband were really cool , one can say strongly influenced by the Rolling Stones but they had some tunes which blow almost every early Stones song into the shadows ....hehehe....regarding such Stones clones remember also the great all time garage blastt off classic "Bad Woman" by The Fallen Angels ..one tune which blows almost every early Stones away ...hehehe...the singer not only copies Jagger voice one to one , moreover he also shows that he could do it better than Jagger, but such bands are almost unknown outside the notorious Sixties Garage fans community, an example for the power of commerce and advertising again ..... even if I joke a bit too this is really my opinion regarding the mentioned bands !!

    I’m not sure if it’s just the way dudes looked like in 67 or if it really is Jim Morrison at 2:37. It’s unfair how much different the Haight is now. It was affordable for young people to live in. I’m glad they changed hippie hill to Robin Williams Hill.
