Video News Story:
I had the chance to spend a year examining my youth and how I became an active member of the 60s generation. If you are from that generation or a child of the 60s, I think you would find the entire series of value.

I remember when my older brothers started to grow their hair long and of course my mother hated it but my grandmother said she liked it because it reminded her of Jesus. Loved my grandma!

When being a hippie became a fashion statement, the "revolution" was dead.

I'm so old, I do my protesting from home now. I yell at the T.V. a lot.

I can remember as a very young kid in the early 70’s like 72 or 73 is when I saw a bunch of hippies!
My dad told me don’t go into a certain set of woods cause their were these dirty hippies in them!
So of course I had to see fo myself! I went out a they built like the greatest tree forts and other little box buildings that were painted all these crazy colors!
I just remembered talking to them and they were all so nice and happy!
This was in Jackson Michigan!
We ended up moving to New Yuck in 1977 but my short few years of going and hanging out with hippies in my youth was a very pleasant experience every single time!
They never hurt me, or tried to get me to get them anything!
They just talked about regular stuff!
I remember one of them opened a seashell that contained a bunch of weed!
So from then on till I knew better, I thought it came from the ocean! It was cool cause they let me be me!
They answered any questions I had and they treated me like a kid brother only a cool kid brother!
I had fond vivid memories of 20 something hippies being genuine and peaceful and fun and decent! I hope they all go to Heaven and I see them again when it’s my turn to be with the great Spirit in the sky!!!!
God bless everyone and happy days to all!!!!!!!!

"The hippie lifestyle is really a middle-class phenomenon and it could not exist in any other society except ours, where there’s an incredible surfeit of goods, products, and leisure time.
That's the reason for it because the generations immediately preceding ours had world wars and depressions to contend with. But now there's time enough and money enough to live a kind of a flagrant, outrageous lifestyle, which was impossible before. – Jim Morrison.
