Every generation had their bohemians and beatniks. What was different about my generation (the Hippies), was we were the most vocal about change on a massive scale. From the music, clothes, cars, design, a whole new consciousness raising on a massive scale. For me it all started when Kennedy got shot and Johnson came in with Vietnam and Strawberry Fields Forever.. There was always some protest going on in the streets (before internet), and every Sunday there was a Love-in in Lincoln Park.

Something that might set apart the "hippies" of the 60's from youth movements in the US was the effect we really did have on social policy and the Vietnam War. This was mainly due to the military draft being in place. I often wonder if we would be in Afghanistan (or gone into Iraq) if our military still had a draft. Or if these wars would have gone on as long as they have. |
