The 60’s. It was a time of political controversy, rebellion, protest marches, bras burning, bare feet, and flower power. From the dust of the 60’s turmoil rose a new cultural lifestyle with a new breed of people: We called them Hippies.

They were children of peace who criticized middle class values, rebelled against established institutions and were dead against the Vietnam War. They were a new and liberated class of people who gave preference to freedom, love, and peace. They were set apart from others by the way they looked, how they thought, and how they spoke....

I take it back. "Groovey" meant "It sucks".

I just got a parking ticket. Ain't that groovey?

Sorry to hear about the ticket. BTW, it's spelled "groovy":

www.answers.com/groovy&r=67 and it means, like cool, very cool. "cool" was a beatnik term, from the early 50s.

Right on baby, it was groovy and outragiously cosmic for you to correct this. Great trip being a hippie, a species that exists in large numbers in Eugene, Oregon.

By the way, here is the best thing in the Hippie world: Hippie Chicks! ;-)

Hard to believe that the summer of love was almost forty years ago...

"Hard to believe that the summer of love was almost forty years ago..."

As High Holy Hippie Elders like the Grateful Dead would say, "the farther you go, the rounder you get." ;-)

The Hippie lifestyle is alive and well in Eugene, Oregon which was an enclave - much like Arcadia, CA - after the early 70s where counterculture settled and raised their kids.

Locally we have sub-lables, "neo-hippie" for kids of Hippies loyal to the cultural groove involved with being counter culture, Rainbows, Granolas, and other slang terms for members of the Hippie cultural subset.

I do not have a day here in Eugene, Oregon where being Hippified is passe. It is a very real thing here. Dig it.

I recently went to a rave type event with a band I know. There were thousands of these neo-hippie kids there in their tie-dye and dredlocks. It really did look like the Cow Palace in about 1968 except these kids were more decked out. As I recall, few people actually had the full montey back in those days, e.g., the long hear, clothing, etc. Everyone wanted it, but most looked pretty ordinary. There wasn't a short haired kid in the whole crowd at the thing I went to.

About a week later I had dinner with some people who had been involved in the SF back in the 60s. I told them about the rave and how hilarious it had been to be in with a bunch of hippie kids. They actually got pissey about it. Acted like the kids were ripping off their thing and that they were the genuine articles. Really weird.

Bizarre.

Pass'em the blunt and tell'em to chill.
