There was violence, it was just kept quieter than it is now. Plus so many of them turned their brains to mush.

I hung around with some hippies on North Beach but I wasn't really a hippie. I did meet Big Daddy once. I liked the folk music crowd and heard a lot of good music.

@amadeo I just remember seeing him briefly at a party. His specialty was impregnating young teen girls. I decided to skip that part.

I was a student in 1969, the Summer of Lurve! My daughter still has my favourite kaftan. My husband (whom I'd just started dating) was in Boston, US for whole of that summer, in which time the Lunar Landing, Woodstock and the Chappaquiddick Bridge incident took place. Needless to say, he was present at none of them.

I have heard the term "hippies" but don't really recall these days, I was too young, or too shielded, or both.

There are still hippies out there. Maybe not too similar to back then but similar lifestyle and mindset. Are there any hippie-like things that you still hold onto?

I was born in the late 60s - so maybe my memories of that time are a bit foggy until we hit the disco era. But I did get to live it a bit during a revival during my college days . . . very hip!

We're watching Marcus Welby MD right now. Sure brings back the clothes and the era. I know a couple of people who continue on in their hippie hood.
