Just as another point, anyone who *was* there
would tell you that what people *think* of when
they think "the Sixties" really wasn't. They're
thinking of the period from 1968 through the
early Seventies, after the real Sixties were
already long gone, dead and buried.

Hippie died in 1967, and most of what the world
knows of the hippie period was what the hangers-on
did after that, pretending that it was still alive.
Bad drugs and bad people entered the picture, and
that later period was *never* what it pretended to
be in the press. It was the attempted commercial-
ization of and co-opting of an earlier phenomenon.
