Support the independent voice of Denver and help keep the future of Westword free.
In the introduction to our post about Lucas Piper, wanted for allegedly trying to burn down the house of people he met at a String Cheese Incident concert, we noted that fans of the band have a reputation for mellowness. But one reader says such impressions don't always prove to be accurate.

It's bullshit to think that hippies, festival people, etc. are mellow. I have met some hippies more violent then some bikers. True Shit!

Keep Westword Free... Since we started Westword, it has been defined as the free, independent voice of Denver, and we would like to keep it that way. Offering our readers free access to incisive coverage of local news, food and culture. Producing stories on everything from political scandals to the hottest new bands, with gutsy reporting, stylish writing, and staffers who've won everything from the Society of Professional Journalists' Sigma Delta Chi feature-writing award to the Casey Medal for Meritorious Journalism. But with local journalism's existence under siege and advertising revenue setbacks having a larger impact, it is important now more than ever for us to rally support behind funding our local journalism. You can help by participating in our "I Support" membership program, allowing us to keep covering Denver with no paywalls.
