Best thing to come out of the sixties

I still can't understand how the hippies from the 60s morphed into today's Republicans in the great USA.
From a proud hippy from that generation.
 
Ah, Woodstock. It created Hippie chicks. That and Neil Young., Hendrix, Santana , Havens ... a lot of artists turned down a festival in a cow pasture , Dylan never showed

Was anyone there?
Almost.

I was fourteen, my family was heading to the Maritime provinces for a holiday. Dad decided to go through the states (NY, Vermont, New Hampshire and Maine) rather than go through Quebec. None of us had a clue about the music festival but we certainly got an eyeful with the hitchhikers and groups of hippies walking and piling into vans. Some of the food and rest stops were very interesting too. If I had been a few years older, I think I may have joined them. At fourteen though, I was just entering high school and still pretty innocent.
 
I was 18 but had no money. I probably would have got arrested at the border had I tried to go because I was high all the time back then.
I bought the dvd set that came out for the 40th anniversary of Woodstock. There is some good footage of girls letting it all hang out on them as well as the awesome music.
 
I was 11 or 12 and saw it with my folks on the 6 o clock news. My dad went into full on hate mode about "long haired lazy drug addicts" and sent me to my room when I tried to argue with him.

they didn't! they kept on keeping on, taking acid and revolutionizing computers and the internet. The internet is the most psychedelic and acid-soaked creation of the 20th century. If lsd had a scent then silicon valley would reek like lsd. The hippies just put their hair in pony tails. They walk among us but we don't really notice them. They're not "off the grid" or "under the radar", they're slowly taking over and dropping out
 
The original 'Vanishing Point' movie had a cute Hippie chick in it.


Thanks for that memory....that was the first pair of tits I saw on tv. I remember the next day in grade school telling the boys about it. That was a big deal to me...

I agree with your father (except sending you to your room)The hippies I knew when Woodstock happened were silly flakes or stoned bums with low IQs.

Some intellectuals influenced by the Sixties (Tim Leary for eg) made significant social changes in educating the great unwashed about truth of drugs and war but they were the great minority


There was also a failed attempt at communalism but that is a recurring failure throughout history. Such movements inevitably collapse whether their source is driven by religion fevor or spiritual naivity.
 
All those beautiful young women from Woodstock would be in their 70's now.

Sigh
