Love this article, great job by all and especially Dr. Raoul, the master modulator!
A professor in college told a class I was in back in the '80s that the term "dirty hippie" started back in the beatnik days, she said that toward the end of those times there was some kind of protest where the beatniks refused to shower, and the term "carried over" into the hippie era.
That doesn't explain the many unshowered leftist hippies we see today, however. I think a lot of it has to do with the homeless type, party down, drug ridden society that seems to be at the root of protester philosophy.
Hey, that makes me think of a new sign for the next march. Near the beginning of it, have your hippiest looking Pro-American by himself with a sign "Warning - Drug Sniffing Police Dogs Ahead." That should peel off a few marchers!

I was at the Club 47 in Cambridge, MA and was picked up by a Beatnik in the early 60’s, the only hair that she was missing was Facial, past is prologue.
