Hippie or not Hippie

In the 1960s a movement loosely called The Counterculture by some got it's time in the light of day. Young men grew long hair and facial hair. Girls went without bras or makeup. Eastern philosophies and religions began to show up in conversations with friends. Communes and ashrams were places some of us lived. We called ourselves freaks. But others called us Hippies.

They say that if you lived through the 1960s (and 1970s) you may not remember what all you did. Or maybe you remember it all clearly including amazing music and philosophical discussions. Let's see what you remember, one way or another.
