siigghhh ... we’re older brother, and the best we can do is attempt to describe the times ... but’cha’ hadd’a BIN there.
What I find really ironic is that now we have a population of aging grey haired hippies who have no idea what the whole experience was about. All they caught was that because the movement was heavily influenced by anti-war sentiment and people rebelled against the government which was Richard Nixon at the time, they think they all have to be democrats.
But, the real meaning of the hippie culture was personal freedom and less government which as far from democrat ideals as can be.
