I wouldn't stop at just art and music. They ruined everything else too.

Whenever I think of hippies, my crotch gets phantom itches like I have crabs. I wonder how it is that I came to associate hippies with genital lice?

We should start a thread about that jerkoff Jim Morrisson too!
Buzzy Out!

I am pretty sure you are joking, but...I would not say they ruined everything else...they did pretty good with protests and politics, in general..effecting change, civil rights, etc..but one can't help but wonder if they had looked, talked and sounded like everyone else in the late 50's, early 60's, they may have been taken more seriously by the Nixon generation. The look and vibe was a turn off to the very people who had the power to effect change.

Going from a culture that dressed up to go out and listened to exotica, jazz, lounge and jazz-pop, to a culture that looked like crap...casual, tie-died, rasta locks, etc...

Yeah, they ruined the scene I love the best.

I love jazz music. The period of time from 1955 to almost exactly 1964 was a golden period in music, the likes never to be seen again. Then came 1964 and you all know who came on the scene that year, and destroyed Jazz for good. (And before you say that the new scene was equally vital and important, how many of you are into hip hop on this forum? THAT scene was also vital, influencial and important, and I HATE it!!)

Sure, there were a lot of great artists, Hendrix, Morrison, etc..I just don't feel there is even the remotest tie-in to tiki culture. It's not even Bilge-worthy, INMHO.
