Psychedelic rock-n-roll, long hair, and bell bottom pants were some of the other "trademarks" of the hippie culture...or shall i say subculture. I remember my older brother who was a big time hippie...he literally worshipped Jimi Hendrix and Carlos Santana. Ahhhh those days. There were some happy times until the Year Zero!!!
You are right, Lok Bong Sacrava, they were harmless to the public as far as I can remember. Furthermore, their fashions, values, and practice, rapidly influenced popular music, television, film, literature, and the arts, and especially the promotion of multiculturalism particularly in the US of A. Even though their culture and values spread out like wild fire to the 'old' worlds such as Cambodia, there was quite a resistance from traditionalists. Speaking from experience, my parents never approved of or accepted my older brother's idea of hippie-ism. -Bora On Apr 1, 7:01 pm, "sacravatoons" <[email protected]> wrote: > During the 70 we had some Hippies who were mainly from some universities & > High school's students in Phnom Penh. > > Not many,maybe a few hundred of them who roamed around with their small > bikies.No Harley Davidson. > They smoked pot...they fought sometime among themselves.I've harly seen > them harm the public,almost they were not the trouble makers but only enjoyed > their parties and listened to the western music such Santana.Rolling > Stone,Bee Gee,Eagle ect...and having their own music band. > > MAKE LOVE, NO WAR ! > > Cheers, > Ung Bun Heang > > Lok Bong Bun Heang, Does Khmer ( Cambodia ) get some Hippies during the > 70's?
