so... how about filling people in on the rest of the non-US based elements of the 60s that were so amazing? the whole hippie movement directly started in san francisco after all (which indirectly spawned psychedelic music).

so unless there's another major cultural element to the 60s i'm overlooking, in this case the US actually IS the center of the matter.

Invade= The USA, The Target= The US music market.

It could be argued that groups like the Beatles, Rolling Stones and the Who etc were very much the centre of where it was at.

Psychedelia fitted in and around all this and later blossomed prog.

Case in point it was a movement that didn't start in America. The british psychedelic and canterbury scenes shouldn't be ignored either.

Not to mention, Dave is right. For everything it did, the hippie movement was total bull**** in the way it portrayed its ideas. It was realyl nothing more than a big excuse for people to feel superior to 'the man' and toke it up. Even the Beatles realised that sooner rather than later, and they were off their faces on drugs more than most. the vast majority of hippies who could even be bothered to HOLD ideals, did so in a half assed way and basically just whined about it without ever doing anything.

Hippiecrosy indeed.
And this is based on absolutelty nothing but stupid generalization. Tell me, how was the hippie movement any different from modern youth and musical movements? Other than you know, actually making a difference and the music not being total f*ckballs.

And how does saying "Hell no" warrant a personal insult? I expressed my opinion of disagreement, I didn't insult him at all, I disagree with someone and for that I'm an idiot who wiki's all his opinions?

Yeah, sure.
