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....

Say what you will about the excesses of the 60's and the navel gazing- but I have a new found respect for the rebellion that did occur. Granted it wasn't always directed at the right things and took some wrong turns into weirdness- but at least they took stands and their rebellion was real.

Now- it seems teen angst and rebellion is all contrived and even managed. There is no rebellion. I don't see any intellecuals or artists in this country who are slightly interesting or daring.

I would call most of what passes for art in this country obscene but to have obscenity there needs to be moral standards. There arent'. What passes for "rebellion" in this country is just puerile, stupid, and irrelevent.

I agree with you. I loved everything about the 60's including the sit-ins, demonstrations and the fact that out of it all came changes that were necessary. The Hippies may not have got the credit but anyone who was around during that time knows the truth. They were a gutsy bunch and stood up for what they believed.
