I think its cool, probably a few to many drugsIt's been a half-century since the peak of the movement, but looking back what do you think about it? For some people, I know it's had a lasting effect, but for some others it's just a relatively meaningless blip in history. I have my opinions, but I'm interested in what others may think.
I was one and even today am one of these "you can take the hippie out of the 60's, but you can't take the 60's out of the hippie". I was also at Woodstock.
It was a time when people felt liberated from the straight-jacket of the past and optimistic about the future. All things seemed possible and easy to attain. It felt like a breath of fresh air had entered a stale and dank environment.
Of course we were all naive and did some really dumb things. I certainly did.
But my supreme long-term optimism of the time remains albeit tempered by a large dose of realism. Serious change takes a lot of hard work and time.
Brothers and sisters, I still sing "let the sunshine in":

While you're contemplating this, hear's a tune that you might enjoy from that era:
Good tunes there! You picked songs in my top few when I think of that time.I think its cool, probably a few to many drugs
In regards to music, I would probably choose one of these. (But so many to choose from )

Two years too late for Woodstock.
The counter-cultural struggle continues even though many have succumbed to greed, cynicism, and fear. I came of age in the early 70s when the 'movement' collapsed into being just a stupid excuse for sex, drugs, and loud rock and roll. Which then opened the door to the 80s and the triumph of greed, cocaine, and idolized decadence. That's when it all went to hell, and has never recovered. Now the counter-culture is just a whisper in the face of a raging hurricane. But it's still whispering, if only to a few.
