Were you of the Hippie era and did you participate as such?

I awoke early in the morning and turned on the telly.
The 1979 film, Hair was on and I immediately disliked what I saw.
The character, Claude, was the main player in the film?
What I saw was George, he seemed to be the main player, and I took a dislike to him from the start.
He seemed to me a bully who was manipulating Claude, and because of that Claude was a greatly diminished person.
I could not watch this film to the end as it was cringe.
I am sure I would never have joined the Hippie class if I was around at the time.

Yes to the era. Yet never apart of it. Was just a little kid when it started.

Must admit to having grown up in southern California. And not LA either. The hippie movement was a bit more prominent in LA. Yet not like San Francisco/Berkeley area. Many hippies there.

Lived in far too conservative an area.

The movie Hair wasn't really a good representation of the era either.

Seeing Woodstock scenes would be better.
