The original " hippy's" were the group in San Francisco that were for the most part college kids from San Francisco State. Also many of the beatniks from North Beach had moved to the Haight Ashbury in 66. At that time you saw nobody sleeping on the streets in that part of the city. The winos were down on 3rd. and Howard and were sleeping all over the sidewalks. The hippys smoked lots of pot' passed around a buda bag of wine from time to time and ate a whole lot of legal acid. now-The people you are talking about and maybe one other on here came later. The flood of people during the summer of love brought alot of people with mixed ideas and some addictions. Mailny from back East. Until then the whole thing in the Haight was acid and weed. Not alcohol-So-if you say the hippys were winos your not talking about the real hippy's but the mass of people that hit the city after the fact-Then heroin' speed and booze took over-Please don't confuse the real hippys with the group that came later-Two different things and times altogether. Anyone that made it to San Francisco in 67 or later would not have seen the real hippy movemnet but alot of homeless people with no money. Also' most of the people that die from alcohol are not people with long hair. They sit behind a desk and send people to war.
i don't know how old you are jack the wanker, but many of the hippies you're calling fucking jackasses and winos did hard time in nam dude ... so what? i hear you say ... it means that even today most of them would probably be able to kick your fat ass. i wrote these words to a young tosser like you way back in 1975. arrogant young man your life too is short years pass by quickly and youth can't be bought. yes think of that "home" cold lonely and bleak its no use complaining when you're white haired and weak. after three score and ten years are brains any help? why not think of your future you callous young whelp. ring out the old yes and make way for the young but beware when your time comes and your bell is rung. peace.

yeah your right, lets all go get the exact same hair cut..forget hair, we'll just shave our heads. and the rest of our bodies too. then we won't need to bathe as much. And kill everyone who doesn't agree with us and everyone who doesn't like the opposite sex and everyone with a hair color besides blonde. we should all be EXACTLY the same. yep.
