60's Hippie Pics - View & Add or Comment

these pictures are awesome. I love that all the group pictures from the 60s look a lot like group pictures of my friends now.

 

Fashions and hair styles come and go, but I am really hoping that inside that hippie-looking exterior beats a gentle heart that is hippie through and through.

 

Let's get naked everyone.

 

Well, I was naked at that event in July 1970. I prolly looked like that long-haired, smooth-skin, tite-butt young man that year.

You sure you wanna see some 65-year-old Hippies naked?

 

Damn Shale, if that's what older guys look like: I'm all in! Lookin' good!

 

Shale, I'm glad you can enjoy life in just your skin. Good for you!
Don't ever feel pressure to compete. Just relax and enjoy your freedom.

 

Not bad shale.
Not bad at all.

Just keep doing your "thing" and life will be just fine.

 

No thank you grandpa.

 

The Chicago Convention, 1968

 

That my friend was no piece of cake. Not exactly a hippie event. But a sixties milestone it certainly was.

 

A photo taken on May 4th, 1970 at Kent State University outside of Taylor Hall looking toward the southwest as the shooting was starting. I don't know the source of this photo. The guard is lined up on the upper right of the photo near the Pagoda structure. On the far left of the picture student Joseph Lewis is seen standing and facing the guard. He was holding up the middle finger to the guard. Lewis was shot in the abdomen and the leg.

A photo by Paul Tople just after the shooting. A group is near John Cleary on the left-center of the photo who was shot near the Drumm metal sculpture near Taylor Hall. A group near Joseph Lewis is seen on the upper-right of the photo. Lewis was the closest to the guard of all the people shot, about 71 feet away.

Joseph Lewis (left) and James Russell at Kent State on May 4th, 2007 during the commemoration. They are two of the 13 people who were shot on May 4th, 1970.

Unfortunately, James Russell died of a heart attack in 2007. Another student who was shot on May 4th, 1970, Robert Stamps, died of complications related to Lyme disease in 2008.

Janis Joplin - God bless you.

 

Jim Morrison's grave in Paris - Check out the vapid image on the right - real or not. Some experts declare it unedited - directly off the negative.
