JERRY RUBIN
Jerry Rubin (July 14, 1938 – November 28, 1994) was an American social activist, anti-war leader, and counterculture icon during the 1960s and 1970s. During the 1980s, he became a successful businessman. (More from Wikipedia)
The remainder of the year 1970 was a busy one for Mick Farren as he began to move into other endeavors. One of the first items in the obituary on Mick Farren in the London newspaper The Daily Telegraph is the November 1970 disruption of the David Frost program: “Farren led the group of hippies which, in 1970, took over the television studio when the American Yippie Jerry Rubin was appearing live on David Frost’s show. As Rubin rolled and smoked a joint, Farren harangued Frost from the audience, while the Oz magazine editor and future media mogul Felix Dennis squirted the enraged television host with a water pistol.”
