David Crosby sings about a pentagram in “Guinnevere”, but what is a pentagram?
A A pentagram is a five-sided star used for casting magic spells and commonly connected with Satanism, deservedly so or not. Seems back in the 60’s everybody who was “hip” at one time or another dabbled into such occult/New Age nonsense, on top of a tab or two of acid, just because it seemed the fashionable thing to do. It was a groovy time until Manson and his bunch went bad vibes ironically around the same time as Woodstock. Altamont was a totally different scene, more reflecting those certain dark aspects of the 60’s that a lot of people have selected memory about, choosing instead to bask themselves in paisley and flowers, peace and love.
