Untitled[edit]

This article was expanded, re the request to do more. The expansion was reverted as a copy violation. I have looked at the source of the violation, the WavyGravy Biography. Agreed, one paragraph of that site was used verbatim, probably a violation, but not the rest. Unless the reverter can explain the entire removal, back to a single line, I expect to edit and restore much of what was removed. --Dumarest 21:01, 29 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hog Farm concept misused[edit]

Geographic locations are not moveable. What about the further bus, was the furthur bus the hog farm too? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.116.53.190 (talk) 08:36, 8 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Wasn't the Further Bus a Prankster thing, not part of the Hog Farm? The Hog Farm was an organization, not just a location. The Hog Farm ran some activities at Woodstock, for instance, and appeared in the movie Skiddoo. The U.N. has a geographical headquarters, but engages in activities around the world. What specifically are you referring to that constitutes misuse? Rosencomet (talk) 14:48, 8 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Appearance in popular culture/criticism (albeit local)[edit]

Not sure if this is of general (English-speaking/global) interest, but Swedish recording artist Pugh Rogefeldt had a massive hit in 1974 with the song 'Hog Farm', a well-known and often covered 'rock classic' in Sweden today, although few people know its origins. It describes Hog Farm's authority-sponsored Skarpnack activities of 1972, telling the story in Swedish of how Pugh came to Stockholm to play, but the gig had been cancelled by the police, and all his friends 'who had began to stop doing drugs one by one' had been run out of town, so he went to visit Hog Farm, where they all were, doing drugs again. A free translation of the song's ending would be 'It doesn't really matter to me, but it makes me so angry, Hog Farm comes here and drags us back down'.

A previously-unreleased track titled 'Hog Farm' surfaced on the 2011 Hawkwind 3-CD compilation 'Parallel Universe'; I think it dates from around 1971. Not sure whether it’s got owt to do with the subject of this article, though, on account of it being an instrumental. Mr Larrington (talk) 02:10, 19 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Controversy[edit]

Child sex at the Hog Farm in the 1960's. According to this website, Dianne Lake, a follower of Charles Manson, engaged in group sex and hard drug use at age 12 (and possibly earlier) and the Hog Farm: http://crime.about.com/od/murder/ig/The-Manson-Family/dianelake.htm
