Well I don't think they did get the message across - make love not war! We've had about 2 American wars since early 1990! Also the example of Michael Jackson killed by prescription drugs and John Bonham (Led Zep) heart attack due to alcohol abuse, Bon Scott (ACDC) killed by alcohol poisoning! Also Jim Morrison was heavily into alcohol at the time of his death! Actor Heath Ledger, recent death from prescription drugs!
