Wow, Woodstock Nation is getting up there, and so are the non hippie 17yos of the summer of ‘69. :^). Me, I turned 8 the month of Woodstock and only remember the moon landing and day camp in Delaware and vacationing at the DE beaches.
I don’t think the hippies were ruling the south because they looked cross eyed at anybody with long hair. Best typified by this Charlie Daniels song from 1973.
