I was too young to be a hippie, but I'm old enough to remember them. A lot of the hippie era has been glamourized. For the most part it wasn't that good.

@AlienZipper Same here, and I concur.
SW-User
@AlienZipper Yes, I've heard that.

@AlienZipper Most of it was created by the corporate news media to sell advertising. It scared most people and attracted others. I think Jackson Browne summed it up best: "We started out so young and strong, only to surrender."

I was a hippie, though now I'm just dippie. Maybe you were a hippie, Meows, and now you're you!
SW-User
@hunkalove Ha! A dippie! Silly man! Yeah, I may have been a hippie in a past life. My mother always told me that I was.

😊@Underconstruction absolutely!
SW-User
@Fernie 😆 Coming from a genuine "hippie" I can't help but believe it.
SW-User
@Underconstruction A Flower Kitten! Ha ha ha! Love it!
I loved the fun drugs, the love, sense of community, sharing, The Haight, sit ins and love ins. But never liked The Dead's music. I loved Zeppelin, Jimmy, Janis and The Doors. I'd be the one going to Berkeley and a pseudo hippy on the weekends.
@SW-User I loved The Deads story and loved that they gave out tabs at their concerts. They once played on a Laguna beach and had tabs thrown at spectators from a helicopter. Found out that little tidbit from a town biographer while attending our yearly vacation in Laguna. Crazy.
SW-User
@dragonfly46 That IS crazy!!!
@SW-User I guess they loved hanging out there, so one drunken night they decided to stage an impromptu gathering the next night. They only told the locals. It was an epic experience, I was told. He had pictures and had attended. I have tried to find out more info about it, but it isn't listed anywhere. There are still quite a few locals who remember it.
Without a doubt. I love lsd.

@lorelei Me too. And shrooms.

A great era but maybe the Yippies had a better realistic handle on things?
SW-User
@Nimbus Not sure.
I doubt it. I would have adopted some things from hippies that I liked but not everything.
No doubt in my mind I would have been a flower child
SW-User
@Pinkstarburst Oh me too!
No, I don't think I would have been one.
SW-User
No idea.. prob not though
Tubbs · F
