Counterculture of the 1960s: The Human Be-In takes place today

[EndtheMadnessNow]

Please forgive me. I'm sure I'll get blasted for this. 

I have no clue why, but I really do not like they whole hippie thing. The flowers in the hair, the music, the attitude, bell bottom jeans, all of it. Don't get me wrong, I fully support yahoo's doing what their freedoms allow. If they all want to get in a VW bus, smoke dope, and drive to San Francisco, more power to them.  

I fully admit it was before my time. I was alive, but just a small child. My parents were not of the hippie-ilk as I think they were too old at the time. However, I do remember bits and pieces of it. 

My mania did not metastasize fully until later in life and has stayed with me ever since. It's just yuuuccckkk looking at it. I want to zap them all to another dimension. Send them to all Antarctica in their VW bus. Purge the airwaves of every hippy song ever written. Yup. I am a hater. I do not know why. 

What's weird is I know plenty of people from that time who were part of the whole scene. I do not hate them. They are OK folks. But if they brought out their old bell bottom jeans with the flower-power patches, I would scream to the heavens and burn them on sight. Respectfully of course. 

OK... flame away.

Oh, how dare you.  

Kidding. No flames from me. It was well before my time too and I just look at it all in humorous bizarro manner. My parents despised that whole hippie counterculture movement. I really didn't recognize the "bell bottom jeans" until I joined the Navy and found myself in bell bottom uniform.

Some good music came out of that movement.

Hey, compared to our current times those times were tame, though coming from someone who did not live those times. My mom still strongly disagrees and says the 60's were the worst time of her life, ever.
