A couple from Altamont too, see them here!

Interesting snaps along with those from the Getty collection. Alas, sad to say, the real hippie movement was no more after 1967 when going to San Francisco and wearing flowers in your hair became a thing and music companies found a new way to cash in on the youth market. A counterculture, as the hippie movement was first envisioned to be, became nothing more than a marketing ploy with entities ranging from corporate America and elsewhere hawking bell bottoms, love beads, granny glasses, fringe jackets to maharishis taking advantage of their lambs. As I observed about my own generation back then. and its embrace of shocking/mocking the elders, regarding ourselves, "There's nothing like conformity disguising itself as nonconformity".

I loved the 60s. A Stones fan from 1964 on.
But I never liked these Hippies.
Remember what George Harrison said after he spent some time
among these idiots in SF CA

Yeah they just don't make LSD like they used to...

The spirit of the sixties is captured on the faces you will see here, too. (including pictures of stones)
