Of these, only the “Althippies can tell”, which we find occasionally between the styled flower children. How was that for here – 50 years ago?
A free, simple and good life
1967: The streets in Haight Ashbury are fully
In the mid-1960s, Haight Ashbury is a point of attraction for young dreamers, Beatniks, and people who are looking for a free and self-determined life. Here are the pioneers and idols of the Beat Generation: Alan Ginsberg, Jerry Garcia, Timothy Leary, Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin live in. It seems to be possible, this alternative life, free from conventions, consumption, and social obligations. Music, drugs and Sex at every corner, voluntarily, and to some degree tolerated. The biggest Bands of the time, Free Concerts”: Jefferson Airplane, The Grateful Dead, The Byrds”. Haight Ashbury is a kind of place of pilgrimage, tens of Thousands of from the United States, even from Europe to San Francisco beckons. Here it actually looks like an other world could arise – full of love, in freedom and self-determination.
“Turn on, tune in, drop out”
Hippie Guru Timothy Leary kicks off the “Summer of Love”
The “Summer of Love” begins in January of 1967, when about 30,000 people gather in the Golden Gate Park of San Francisco. The Poets Allan Ginsberg and Gary Snyder have called the “Human Be-In” is initiated and to a common, collective expansion of consciousness. The psychology Professor Timothy Leary coins the Motto this summer: “Turn on, tune in, drop out!” (Cruise at you, vote – and get out of the car).
The Soundtrack Scott McKenzie returns with “San Francisco” – with the famous line: “If you’re going to San Francisco, then ensure that you wear flowers in your hair.” Tens of thousands heed the call and flock to the Californian city.
Closeout of a dream
Garbage are Also belonging: to the Hippie Feeling
The number of inhabitants of Haight Ashbury, is increasing rapidly. Because of the high drug density of the district is given the nickname of “Hashbury”. The people sitting on the streets, to roar, to make music. In the Park, danced, celebrated and of course “love”. An initially peaceful mass circus. However, in the course of the summer of 1967, there are sometime too many people. The peaceful mood flips: Too many homeless people, too much Filth and disease. The drugs are harder.
From the summer of love, not much more. Many of the Ur-Hippies, the escape is your dream long dreams; drugs and commercialism have destroyed the original idea. In October 1967, several Hundred Hippies get together and explain the “summer of love”. In a symbolic funeral March to carry to the grave the hippie culture.
Paragraphs instead of Love & Peace
The culmination of the 50-year celebration on may 27. August 2017, a “Free Concert”Festival in Golden Gate Park. As to the 40. Anniversary in 2007, wanted to organize the “Council of Light”, a group that arose from the origin of movement in the ‘ 60s, a Festival to be the only current artists, but also Bands of that time invited. Even Tibetan monks had been asked – for the “Common awakening”.
Disbelief in the courtroom: The “50th Summer of Love Anniversary Free Concert” is prohibited
Instead, there was a rude awakening: The city refused the organizers permission. Due to severe security concerns, because of the recruitment of volunteers, due to an inadequate planning of Escape routes and because there is a lack of port-a-potties. The exchange of correspondence between the organisers and the competent office as well as the following court negotiations, so no “Spirit of the Sixties”.
Nevertheless, the city of San Francisco won’t let go of your Hip history. The 50-year Celebration, it presents your visitors with all the things one imagines among the Hippie culture, with all the clichés of the Hippie Bus to public marijuana sales. There are throughout the year events: concerts, Happenings, and a celebrated exhibition at the de Young Museum to visit stoned according to the Online culture magazine “The Bold Italic”.
