The signs of the times are everywhere--flower power, hippies, peace, love, bellbottoms, black is beautiful, day glow, draft dodger, flashback, far out, flipping out, flower children, groovy, Hare Krishna, tripping, joint, mellow, laid back, munchies, rip off, score...and...
The Summer of Love
Forty years ago we had Nixon for president and hippies invading the Haight Ashbury with long hair, a mellow yellow attitude and flowers in their hair.
Today we find what they brought to that street corner in San Francisco still hangs on in our culture today, from the 60s tunes you can hear bringing on the conservative talk show hosts on A.M. radio to the slick commercials about baby boomers' retirement years.
The '60s counterculture just won't go away!
