I've heard the term 'trustafarians for them now. You know, those rich white kids with rasta hair.
You mean the "Hippies" have helped save us from the christian nuts? I think you give them too much credit. The hippie movement was brief; influential but brief.
The battle against christian fundamentalism is not yet won, it goes on.
in many respects, to answer the OP's question, the 60's movements were successful. Civil rights for minorities, women's rights, gay rights (something that was unthinkable back then), gay marriage, legalization of marijuana, reproductive freedom, legal abortion, many of these things represent success on the part of the "movement."
But of course, many of theideals have not been realized, for many reasons.
If you do that nowadays, people call you a traitor and you get stuck on an airport in Moskow or an embassy in London.
Koen - I agree !!
talk about simple-minded meaningless generalizations (referring to both quotes).
Black Sabbath were from Birmingham not Manchester.
Herman's Hermits were from Manchester.
"As we say in England, it can get a bit trainspottery"
If that's the case, then all the more reason.
Yet more waffle n myth.
try further south. the midlands is the home of british rock & metal. sabbath aint from t'north.
Drugs are caused by scientists, chemists, and laboratory technicians--not to mention God/nature.
- Sorry, Birmingham!
- Ditto.
Ain`t it all about the resourceful, young aspiring "children" from good homes around the year 1970 (+/-)?
something is kleer to me now...BEST POST EVER!
that was an entertaining and disturbing read....especially the forum comments!
Talk about your favorite band.

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.

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.

I agree that in many respects, the 60`s movement were succesful. Christian fundamentalits would shudder in response to those issues. In their view, hippies was a threat to the stability of our society, with their loose relationships and all that. In the 60s, this must have been a threat difficult to imagine today. The hippies sole name must have been quite an abuse.

Civil Rights was a success. Other things were left unfinished...but look what they were up against. 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.

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 ?

It would be fun to post YouTube videos such as "blame it on the Stones," "I'd like to change the world." But seriously I would like to think that many of us realized that there were other things in life of value besides social issues and embraced a more localized ethics in balance with other values such as aesthetic, spiritual, and naturalistic. I know I would rather spend time with Jacques Pepin than with Al Gore.
