I wonder if Eric Cartman will be interviewed. In any event this should be interesting. Two hours. Use this thread for discussion of this show.

[Recovering Ex-hippie]

this should be interesting....

[EggsAckley]

Having hated it while I lived through it, I think I’ll pass tonight.

[KoRn]

I agree with Cartman. I hate hippies!!! People that know me are very surprised by this since I’m a guy and have very long hair. lol

[Liberty Valance]

I dunno. There were a few things about those days that weren't so bad...;o)

[Inge_CAV]

Any mention of R Crumb in this program?

[SirJohnBarleycorn]

Where was Cartman when we needed him?

[KC_Conspirator]

Yeah, I already know how this is going to go. Not 3 minutes into the show they are already jumping in how great LSD is. I am sick and tired of having this stuff sold to me and not telling the truth about how destructive the counterculture really was.

[Wheee The People]

Too bad it’s not in smell-o-vision so we could have the full effect.

Hippies were actually a small percentage of the population at the time. More young men were (like my father) serving Uncle Sam in the armed forces, and even more were just not involved in any scene.

Oddly enough hippie "culture" really trickled down to Middle America in the early 70s. This is when all the good old boys down south were growing their hair long and blasting Molly Hatchet.

On a final note, my father, who went into the Army in January 1967, remembers finishing his Army career at the Presidio in San Francisco in late 1969. By that time the "bubblegummers" had been pouring into the Haight, and my father had never seen so many young girls, within the boundaries of the USA, involved in prostitution, in this case to support their drug habit.

In other words, even from January 1967 to November 1969, the world had changed considerably.

[Clemenza]

OMG! They mentioned Aleister Crowley!

[Liberty Valance]

Wow! They’re saying that the 60’s counter-culture slammed the door on the upward mobility of blacks in America.

These are,essentially,the same scumbags who today pay $15/pound for chicken at Whole Foods and drive $60K Range Rovers that sport Kucinich for President bumper stickers.
