The quality is superb, as I mentioned, but perhaps it could be put to interesting use exploring themes other than merely being high and happy. Everyone knows by now that the hippies of the late sixties got it wrong in this regard. "Peace and Love," and nothing else, is an untenable ideal to inhabit. (Although it must be said that these guys seem to be decent suburban kids who just happen to smoke pot and do acid rather than the "dirty hippies" of "yesteryear.")
