Something very violent at a peace rally

A Vietnam War veteran has been murdered. As Detective Ray Carling put it, "May you rest in peace, because we certainly won't!" The episode opened with a peace rally as "Sweet Cherry Wine" by Tommy James and the Shondells )which charted in March 1969 and peaked at Number 7) played in the background. Of course, Sam's neighbor, Windy, being such a free spirited hippie chick, was thrilled to see that Sam was also there at the rally, not knowing that Sam was not there to "find himself" but to investigate a murder that tool place nearby.

The selection playing at that disco was "I'm Chief Kamanawanalea (We're the Royal Macadamia Nuts)" by the Turtles, from their 1968 LP, "The Turtles Present the Battle of the Bands", a great album that sadly sold so poorly that the band members were quoted as saying that the royalties made off that album were barely enough to pay for their rented tuxedos.

The closing selection was "Reflections (of My Life)" by the Marmalade.

Goofs
During the opening sequence in the park, the soap bubble containers have UPC bar codes upon them. The Universal Product Code technology existed in 1973, but was currently in product testing only in a Kroger store in Cincinatti, Ohio, and another in Troy, Ohio. The UPC was not printed upon the labels of commercial items for another three years, and then only on a select few items.

Quotes
Detective Sam Tyler: You see? Reeves' murder is looking more and more like a hate crime.
Lieutenant Gene Hunt: What? As opposed to an 'I really, really like you' crime?
