Question

Just wondering if this is still active. I'd like more info, but it seems like I go around in circles when I go the other website and that. Was it closed because of the constant harassment?

 

Ummm..... What?

Do you mean like the "Summer Of Love"?

 

No, what I meant was that the so-called "Summer Of Love" was supposed to be the culmination of the Hippie movement that began around 1965. Summer Of Love was panned and ridiculed by those who were there, the musicians, the filmmakers, the artists. The peace movement was created by the Vietnam conflict and the so-called Hippies latched onto that and blew it up into the big Free Love concept of "Make Love, Not War"... and so the Hippie phenomenon by 1967 was kind of like a religion that did not "pan out" and so can be compared with COOL?

By 1967, the center of the Hippie movement was the Haight/Ashbury district. Hundreds and hundreds of people flocked to Haight Street, many were homeless runaways, drug chasers, drug dealers, prostitutes looking to cash in on a good thing. The San Francisco bus tours even went down Haight Street so the tourists could see the so-called Hippies on their adopted street. The Peace movement, peace marches and all that were being ruined by all of this as Vietnam escalated. The protesters were all compared to the Hippies and as such became, in the public eye, dangerous, dirty, violent people. It's not the way it was supposed to be. So, in October a group of activists called The Diggers organized a march designed to promote the "Death Of The Hippie", complete with a mock funeral, a coffin and everything else. As time went by and 1968 became the most turbulent year of the 1960's, the idea of the Hippie just faded away... and the dregs of Haight Street returned to their past lives.

Can you dig it?

 

Check out the movie Jesus Revolution - it covers the Summer of Love movement in Laguna Beach CA.
