Sex, drugs and rock’n roll. Make love, not war. Turn on, tune in, drop out. Have you ever been experienced? Long-haired freaky people. Morals and decency went out the window. Loss of family values. Vatican II. Free “love”. We witnessed the corruption of the Greatest Generation right before our eyes. Our friend’s parents grew their hair long. Our adult school teachers grew their hair long. Hair-length determined whether you were on the Bus or off the Bus. Whether or not you were part of the counterculture. There were “spontaneous” happenings everywhere. Pot smoke was everywhere, indoors and out. Cops didn’t care. You could pass a joint to a cop. There was massive and total societal breakdown. The balance was upended. A big part was the explosion of the boomers in the population. We outnumbered all other age groups. That’s why the Stones can still tour. We called the shots.
Right on, man! Peace, brother! “Burn the bra!” Hari Krishna! Let’s have a love-in! The Maharishi Mahesh Yogi is gonna be at my crash pad for a happening! Be there or be square! There’ll be lava lamps and black lights. Bring your own homemade psychedelic posters! Up the establishment! Power to the people! Next week we plan an electric kool-aid acid test! Do ya wanna dance? Do ya wanna join a cult? Do you wanna join a band? We’re gonna have a draft card burning. The SDS is gonna be there! “They closed the New York Thruway, man!” Timothy Leary is running for president! John Lennon wrote his campaign song, “Come Together”!
