Jim Morrison said he thought the hippie movement was mostly an economic phenomenon; that the hippie generation was the first time in history young people had money. So they could say money didn't matter.

Some grew into Yuppies, that`s fersure, or "disco freaks".
Besides, "Hippies" have been christian people`s most significant enemy when viewing our society as a whole up to this day, comprising everything from punks to satanists.

One of the legacies of the 60's is that it reminds us to question authority. That's something we should never forget to do.

If you do that nowadays, people call you a traitor and you get stuck on an airport in Moskow or an embassy in London.

Black Sabbath were from Birmingham not Manchester.
Herman's Hermits were from Manchester.

The "children of the 60s" where? Those sent to the Vietnam war, or those staring at the Berlin wall? Those under Franco's regime, or those turning cars upside down in the streets of Paris? Those of the Chicago school of economic thinking, or those suffering the consequences thereof? Those dealing with the Soviet Union tanks, or those being able to buy whatever they lay their eyes on?

The children of the 60's believed that to fight for the equality of all mankind was considered a battle for the heart and soul of us all. And that all men and all women are equal in every way, and that any form of racism or sexism or any other ism was to be exposed and debated, The children of the 60's longed for leaders who would speak the truth and who would open and guide honest debates on all issues important,
And who would encourage all voices to join in and add viewpoints that had, up till then, been disregarded and brushed aside.
So now that children of the 60's are running our lives with their fat, greasy and grasping hands - are we all betrayed by them ? Why did they become unthinking citizens who, where they once wanted a better and more caring world and are now happily settling only for the material and crass. Why are they now settle for greed and selfishness and hatred towards those less fortunate ? Did the children of the 60's who became the adults of 80's and 90's found the dark side of capitalism and materialism too attractive and idealism of the 60's too difficult to continue and they have taken the easy way out selling their own souls ?
