60's Hippie Pics - View & Add or Comment

Netflix has a few movies you can stream that were filmed in the Bay Area back then. "Revolution" from 1968 is quite interesting (includes interview with Lou Gottleib at the ranch). The one about the Free Speech Movement is decent as well. I've not watched the one about communes but heard it is good also.

 

This is great! I am pretty young ( below 25 ) and this is awesome to see these photos! Looking foward to seeing more.

 

Some more commune pics:

 

A lot of us individually don't have the money to buy land and live like we want to.
But when people get together, amazing things can happen.
They still do! Ask Dawn Landes:

Hello,
Love the pictures, I was born in 69. I remember my parents fashions the way they talked the music they listened to, very groovy, soulful and the smell of incense rocked my world.

Peace and Leaves,
E.M

 

I LOVE this. I wanna party with these hippies :2thumbsup:

 

Sticky situation.

 

I admit that numbers are down, but the party still goes on:
Rainbow Gatherings, Bonaroo, World Naked Bike Ride, Habitat for Humanity builds, Sierra Club, organic farm internships, arts festivals, Appalachian Trail, The John C Campbell Folk Center, the Georgia Mountain Fiddler's Competition, the fun and funky part of Atlanta called Little Five Points, The Hip Forums.

It's cool to hang out with the hippies, but let me encourage you to be the hippie!

Even the Lone Ranger had Tonto for companionship. Find us!

 

I remember when this happened. I have never been able to forgive it. It was SO wrong. SO wrong. SO wrong. :\

 

Uh, what are you talking about?

 

Sorry I was suppose to click like :/

**peace and love**

 

Thanks everyone <3

 

I wanna party with these hippy girls

 

I did with similar hippy girls - it was fun.

 

^ jealous

 

Yes, hippie chicks were/are awesome!

 

These are all great pictures with each a different and interesting story.

 

I just scrolled back thru this thread, enjoying all the memories of my youth. Also to see what I had posted. Other than a few portraits made during the era, I don't have too many fotos and they were taken with snapshot cameras with shitty lenses.

I dropped out in Jan 1970. In Dec. '69 I was still a cop with the Harbor Police Dept. Met a girl on the wharf walking her dog on my last day of work and she invited me to the Sphinx Coffee House on Decatur Street in the Quarter. There I met other heads and eventually got involved with Hippie communes in the city.

Ddoright and I are contemporaries, two hips who passed each other at the 2nd Atlanta Pop Festival on July 4th Weekend 1970. Some friends from a 'family' in New Orleans and I drove there in my VW Bug. We crashed for a night at my dad's place in East Mississippi and his 3rd wife (who was about my age) snapped this pic of us the next morning hitting the road. She told me my dad was a good-ol-boy outlaw in the '30s, and smoked grass in his trips to Mexico. I also knew about my family connection to bootleg beer & moonshine in a dry county. I think that is why he never really objected to my dropping out days.

Since I posted this pix, it must have been moved, so I will refresh the link:

 

Ian Anderson of Jethro Tull. One of my all time favorite groups. Used to go to the graveyard, study and listen to Aqualung.
