Did ANY Artists Support Jim after Miami?

Did any of Jim's peers in the music business ever defend him? When I had that newspaper subscription, I looked through all the articles I could, and never heard ONE talk about artistic expression, etc... Too much stockbroker mentality perhaps? John Sinclair got a lot of support years later but I can't think of a fellow artist who defended Jim publicly at the time. I think he was mocked and ridiculed more than anything else. That must have hurt. Just think, Woodstock was around the corner - that would have been a platform to support Jim, say something during one of these stage rants. Someone somewhere could have written a song.

I wonder if he felt betrayed by his fellow man.
