With all the conversation about hippy straps and "change" in the political arena...it just begs the question:
Where DID all the hippies go?😕😀

Dear Dave,
We got old.
Aren't a lot of your friends ageing hippies?
Cheers,
R.

Roger...shhhhhh....very few people know...
BTW, I have just started a new career whilst being imprisoned in my house. I started pulling 40 years of prints/slides/negatives and whatever together so I can catalog and archive them THAT is when I found my old photos...one while in college driving my "62 VW bug...another 10 years later still with sideburns...
I'll see if I can get them scanned and post.😱
On second thought, maybe that would be scary!

I presume they went where all the punk rockers went. I got old.

Like most young folks, they got older and realized that money, security, children, etc. ain't so bad after all.

Everybody got old...yep, I am sure that happened. But, what happened to the "movement"? BTW, what WAS the movement?
It would be interesting to see where the "then-new" way of looking at things took us...did they become bankers/entrepreneurs/professors/old farts/etc. or what? I would be curious to know what the contributions have been since, say, 1975, by the counter-culture generation (meaning those of us who grew up in that era).

Here I am! Old hippies never die; we just fade like our blue jeans 😀
If you look at a lot of the stuff the hippies were laughed at for, Greenpeace; Friends of the Earth (ex-card carrying member of both); save the whale, etc, it's now being touted as being the way to go. In these days of environmental awareness and global warming everybody now realises the hippies were right; they're just to embarrassed to admit it. Peace.

Dear Andrew,
Well, money, anyway. Never tried security, children or (worse still) etc.
Never trust anyone under 30...
(Except maybe Aditi).
Love, light & peace,

Dear Dave,
Uh... just about everything. Women's rights? Ecological awareness? Racial equality? Collapse of communism? Collapse of capitalism (OK, that's work in progress)? Stuff like that.
Love, light and peace,
R.

Hi, Roger...
I agree... except for the Big Brotherism that seems to have reached an amazing level in a short time. That book concerned me when I read it in High School and to think I have lived long enough to see it come to fruition...blech!
Oh, btw, I did find my photos...but they are too scary. Anybody want to be first to post their photos from the hippy era?🙄

I'd have to post photos of myself at age 8, and I haven't any.
My only experiences with hippies:
* Laugh-in.
* Watching the Pekin, IL, police beat them (anti-Vietnam protesters) at a dedication ceremony for a public library.
Nixon Advance Men Sued Over Pekin, III., Protest
* Getting beat up by a dirty, smelly, hippy who worked for the McGovern campaign and stole one of my newspapers while I was trying to deliver my route. The police caught him and let my dad smash him up some. Which was good, because I was pretty busted up.
