However, such was not to become the new reality. In fact, according to [[By The Time We Got to Woodstock: The Great Rock 'N' Roll Revolution Of 1969|Bruce Pollock]], the Kent State tragedy, which occurred only five months after the Altamont ...

Although the program was laden with major avant-garde figures, the most widely attended screenings were those on the three nights devoted to the films of John Lennon and Yoko Ono. The Elgin management took advantage of the hippie crowds to announce an added feature-Alexandro Jodorowsky's ''[[El Topo]]'' to be [[Midnight movies|shown at midnight]] because, as the first ad announced, it was "a film too heavy to be shown any other way."" --''[[Midnight Movies]]'' (1983), page 80 | + | |
