Steve, hippy is a label.
Alice from the Bronx, before she went off with the leader of the local ex-cons on the heroin trail, made me a vest from the surviving blue field of stars I pulled from the ruins of the adobe where the locals burned out some legendary escapees from New York
This was in New Mexico itself a collision of cultures, pueblos overrun by Cortez in turn awash in the influx under the likes of General Lew Wallace its first US military governor who remarked, "Decisions based on experience elsewhere fail in New Mexico."
The era was swept by crosswinds from Beats to Beetles, from Marx to Lennon, in a decade of assassination and the napalming of a subcontinent.
A cabal prowling the globe like a wolf pack soon devours any threat; the "hippies" were torn apart prior to any viable self-awareness.
A buzzword of the time was commercialization, a phrase, "selling out" or "co-opting" all in relation to the establisment, the system, the man.
While the Who may have sung won't get fooled again, it seems many fools continue to beg for it.
Revolution for Germany, Russia, China required a river of blood--and then what do you have?
Stan's splintering frame thread suggests something I think you'd agree was on the threshhold of that "hippy" generation
A realization that we are, and the only chains are the peripheral frame and the overlaid lens of this or that psychological/spiritual dominator
The universe is just as infinite as then as ever
An updated Howl would track our peers dead, detoxing, dealing, backsliding, but we'd agree
He not busy being born is busy dying
It is part of the strategy of tension that a medieval malaise be cranked down until no one can stand erect
Such is the nature of this cabal which the fairies of media insist does not exist
