Let's Go (1968)

Let's Go (1964-1968) was an after school CBC television show that broadcast five days a week from a different Canadian city each weekday (Vancouver, Winnipeg, Toronto, Montreal and Halifax). Although the show focused on popular (rock) music, this particular episode is dedicated to "Vancouver's psychedelic hippie scene," which in some instances (Pat Boone) is referred to as "a tragedy." Lots of insights expressed in this episode, some from unexpected sources (Pat Boone again), but not once do we hear from a woman.

Those who remember the late poet and activist Jamie Reid can find him in the 18th minute talking about "hipsters." Here's a snippet:

"With most hipsters, I find that the only subject of conversation is drugs. That gets to be a bore after awhile. Another thing that gets to be a bore after a while is their holier than thou attitude."

Haney's Susan Pesklevits was a frequent guest on Let's Go; first as a solo artist, then as a member of the Poppy Family (when she changed her last name to Jacks), and then as a "featured" member of the band. Here she is singing a song penned by her then-husband Terry Jacks, "That's Where I Went Wrong" (1969):
