They date it as 1967, even though the grafitti gives a 1968 date, but probably added later. We can see that the poster was there before the grafitti, because it is overwritten by it with a couple of strokes.
OMYGOSH.!
I just noticed that my stencil is sprayed here, too.
The writing in an arc, to the right of the poster says,
“ BULLETS SHOT IN AIR COME DOWN SOMEWHERE “.
I made that stencil because the Police were shooting up toward the rooftops on one occasion.
I was never happy with the phrasing, because it should say, bullets shot in the air come down somewhere, but “the” had to be taken out to make it work.
( i remember that some famous songwriter was never happy with the necessity to use the word, “devine”, in one of his song lyrics. haha. )
The rest of the text on the Rolling Stone web page is,
“ In This Article: Janis Joplin, Jefferson Airplane, Jim Marshall, Jimi Hendrix, the Grateful Dead. “
Jimi Hendrix lived int the City around 1967 and played in the Panhandle.
Chanter, Mark, missed him by ten minutes when he was a teenager.
I never heard about it at all. I started in the Haight and joined the Diggers in 1967, but it must have been after that.
