The 1960s was a decade marked by counter cultures and the youthquake movement. While San Francisco had Haight-Ashbury, Los Angeles had the Sunset Strip. Home to the famous rock club Whisky A Go Go and historic jazz cafe Pandora's Box, the strip became a lively night crawl for the youth, dubbed the “Striplings.” Fed up with the late night disturbances and traffic, residents of the area were pushing for a renewed curfew and loitering laws for these minors. Seeing this as a violation of their rights, the Striplings organized a demonstration on November 12, 1966 at Pandora’s Box where an estimated 1,000 people showed up. The protests continued into December with many celebrities in support such as Sonny & Cher, Stephen Stills, Jack Nicholson, and Peter Fonda. Ultimately the crowds thinned and Pandora’s Box, a venue that showcased artists such as the Byrds and the Beach Boys, was demolished in 1967. The Sunset Strip riots remain a culturally significant event that inspired countless songs, such as the popular protest anthem “For What it’s Worth” written by Stephen Stills and later popularized by Buffalo Springfield; as well as a film dramatization of the events.
