Quote:Still... I dig hippies. I was born in '62 so I grew up watching them, waiting to join their ranks. Then when I turned of age it was all over! ARRRGH!!!! I WANTED TO BE A HIPPY WHEN I GREW UP DAMNIT!
I was 15 in 1962.
Hippies never impressed me. The ones I knew were university students doing liberal arts,often living in gentile poverty pretending to be proles.
Everyone in my circle worked for a living. There were three broad dominant sub cultures within our milieu:Mods,Rockers and Surfies. I was a Mod. Each group had a distinctive dress style and taste in music.There was also some correlation to class,education and job.
