I was always a big fan of Dr. Gottlieb, and the Limeliters. I was somewhat surprised to read in Dick Weissman's recent book about the 1960's folk music era, "Whose Side Are You On?," that Dr. Gottlieb was a member of the Communist Party during his days in the Gateway Singers. It is not beyond imagining, yet rather unexpected from someone who sang "Harry Pollitt" as part of the Limeliters' repetoire. I'm sure that there would be a lot of insightful knowledge to come out if someone researched this topic.

Dr. Gottlieb's arrangements with the Kingston Trio included "Saro Jane" and "Round About the Mountain", as well as one or two others. Daniel Sparkman (talk) 12:13, 13 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Maybe someone should write down that Lou Gottlieb was a very inspiring person to the commune- movement of the 1960s. He formulated the LATWIDNO policy ( Land Access To Which Is Denied NoOne) that inspired places like Drop City- and by that also our whole perception of countercultural communes. Unfortunately I am myself way to lazy to write this article and also too busy writing about the 1960s commune movement. For those who have the time and inspiration to improve the section on Lou Gottlieb I highly recommend Timothy Millers "The 60s Communes- Hippies and beyond".

>It should be mentioned that Gottlieb's Morning Start Ranch is the same "Drop City" as that chronicled by T. C. Boyle (in fictionalized form) in his bestselling book of that name. 2603:300A:1511:2B00:410E:B55A:4E6E:A38E (talk) 08:22, 21 October 2016 (UTC)Larry Siegel[reply]

Plagiarism[edit]

Much of this article is copied and pasted directly from the Limeliters website and a blog or two, which accounts for the utter lack of citations. Dr. Lou deserves better than this lazy shortcut.There are serious copyright issues here and may condemn the article to deletion. I may be able to provide a source or two but don't have the time to do the massive rewrite clearly needed here. Sensei48 (talk) 06:43, 30 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

There are other sources on the www.[edit]

I spent a week at Morningstar: summer 1971. One of the fondest memories of my life. I don't know if it is Wikipedia's job to be more complete on Morningstar in this wiki. The wiki *Morningstar Commune* seems somewhat off-target and has some errors. But both wikis have references. And there is much via Google. Anyhow, I think both Wheeler's and Morningstar were *experiences* in many people's lives-- so I would hope the wikis will survive. As I recall, the wiki on *Blume in Love* is similarly lacking-- but these topics are part of Californiania at an important Time in USA history. Thanks to the contributors for the references.

Update and review 2021[edit]

Hi folks, I have been looking at checking citations that are there, and finding more for this article. Some of the references are 'dead', and other stuff that is quoted has no citations. At this stage, I am not deleting any references as others might be able to bring them to life. I am also looking at creating more of a lede for the article and setting up some sections. Please feel free to give me your feedback. I know this article crosses over a lot with the one for The Limeliters, so without duplicating information, it is good to line them both up. I agree with an earlier post in Talk that the Morningstar section could have more detail.Realitylink (talk) 02:00, 25 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, I have removed the tag after adding some good references and material. Please feel free to check the article in particular dates.Realitylink (talk) 22:28, 25 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
