Hippies: Love
built 263 days ago
It wasn't long before a lot of Americans became convinced the hippies were just aching to tear down the basic fabric of America. It wasn't just mainstream America that didn't like the hippies, either. Once a group of the Hell's Angels motorcycle gang swooped down on a group of hippies for no other reason than they wanted to. All in all, the hippie-haters pretty much included anyone who thought that believing and preaching peace, love, and toleration of others was stupid. In America that was (and is) a pretty large slice of the population.

As of 2005, hippies are found in bohemian enclaves around the world or as wanderers following the bands they love. Since the early 1970s, many rendezvous annually at Rainbow Gatherings. Others gather at meetings and festivals, such as the Peace Fest.

Author Peter Jedick, who attended the school at the time when the National Guard triggered one of the greatest tragedies of the love generation, keeps you in suspense right up to Hippies’ final pages. Until that militaristic denouement, Hippies is a pleasant series of youth-culture escapades, from beer bashes to road trips to rekindled romances and too many roommates.

Although not as visible as it once was, hippie culture has never died out completely: hippies and neo-hippies can still be found on college campuses, on communes, and at gatherings and festivals. Many embrace the hippie values of peace, love, and community, and hippies may still be found in bohemian enclaves around the world.[17]

Soon there were more than one group of hippies providing free food and services in San Francisco. You could quite literally live on love (or less) and one author wrote how he survived almost exclusively on the free stew you could get in Berkeley Park. The different Digger groups seem to have been operating independently of each other, but they were all called "The Diggers". That never bothered anybody. A Digger was a Digger.

A place for queer hippies of all ages to congregate and share. Whether you were at the Be-In or the height of the Haight was before your time, turn on, tune in, and drop out the mainstream nonsense for a little peace, love, cyberhugs, and spiritual nourishment.
