In this San Francisco TV news report from 1967, 19 year old entrepreneur Steve Metz (looking Johnny Deppish) offers hippies round trip cruises to Europe aboard the good ship Lark.

Just imagine it - six hippies to a room, light shows and live rock bands playing all night.

“I think they’re [hippies] economically, politically and in every other way growing more and more important each day because they are growing in number, as well as in thought. And the country is coming round to their way of thinking, slowly but surely.”

Metz was way ahead of the curve in grokking the market potential of the counter-culture and in the setting of hipster fashion trends. Where is this dude now?
