1960s Haight Ashbury Hippies, Cars, San Francisco
I grew up listening to the music from the 1960's when I was in my school days when the music was so much different than any decade of music
0:15 - How sad, I will always feel for the parents who had no idea if their kids were dead in a ditch somewhere or not.
Damn I need to know if Bunee contacted her family & how it turned out! When they state they are all willing to relocate so she can have a fresh start where nobody knows of this time in her life, they clearly were not trying to be insulting or judgmental but were simply products of their generation trying to make it comfortable for her to return to their lives. They clearly loved her very much!
I guess we will never know what happened to Bunee or the man with the baby tiger 🐅 or the man with his monkey 🐒 climbing to his feet or the man with the poncho or this street band with the guitar and the harmonicas. You see, when i see old footage like this i always wonder. Who were these people? How did they lived back then? Did they had good personalities? Were they happy? Did they managed to live as free as they wanted to live?
@@On_Dust & @just me rekon bunnee settled down with a nice middle class bloke and lived happy ever after .... na she was a stonner that dropped out and good on her
2:50 It's Jenny in her hippie years before settling down with Forrest
Ha, well spotted, looks like her too ! 👍
RUN, FORREST, RUN!!
I miss 40s 50s 60s 70s and 80s san Francisco footage because i was born 1999
Song is "Stranger in my own hometown" - Elvis does a rendition too
This is a true story.... I sold dope & had a little money in my pocket. Two guys drove a vw bug all the way from Michigan & were selling because they had just arrived and were flat broke. So I bought my first CAR. Had the pink & everything. It had no brakes so I had to ride the clutch on the hills. Paper mache bumpers.... I kid you not. But it ran. A day later a guy needed a place to crash. I told him he could sleep in my bug if he wanted to. I gave him the key... and that’s the last I saw of him and my car....
and the moral of that tale.......... never trust a homeless hippie with your car keys
Hahahahaha, but the car had no brakes. Bet that dude freaked out and crashed going down one of SF'S steep hills 😆
I wonder where they all went? Are they the seniors of today that are voting to legalize pot? Do they still hold onto their hippie roots. I know I do.
+Delfina Herrera Hoxie SURE ----SPARE CHANGE?
they still partying somewhere
Everyone holds onto their youth and as much of their subculture as they can - even as death becomes much more real with the passing of old friends. It was nice to have lived through a period of time when we could actually trust each other, and treat each other with gentleness and respect, despite the ongoing criminal madness of the wars going on at the time.
They joined the establishment in the 1980's and voted for Ronald Reagan twice.I read somewhere that Abbie Hoffman killed himself because his Yippies became Yuppies.
Michael, I suspect Hoffman killed himself because he got old and his charming con games no longer worked with young women.
Love this song and video.
What’s the song called?
sometimes I think we have a lot to learn from hippies, our paths are leading to the abyss.
Hippies grew up to be racist old Republicans who want every penny for themselves
I managed to live in a hippie town until about 1980 and we did take care of each other but, in terms of survival, there was one long period where I had friends dying every month. They were in their 20s. I can think of maybe 3 people who are still alive.
2:50 the cute hippie girl from Hey Ninteen Vid
My dream time. 💕💕
Good video one of the better I have seen about the SF hippie thing...
After the Haight-Ashbury scene got national publicity, one of the big elements on the street was the presence of loads of tourists who came out to see what all the buzz was about. I feel like a latter-day tourist myself, still trying half a century later to come to some kind of clarity about what the 'hippie' moment really meant. Did it signify anything really different, or was it just the usual hustle dressed up in colorful clothes and fashionable rhetoric? It seems like there probably was a core that truly mattered and brought lasting change, for better or worse. If not, that long-gone world would probably not attract our attention like it still somehow does.
I'm thinking about that period of history in similar way In my opinion it was a time of cold war,economic prosperity,standard of living increased it's so complex period so many things influenced yung people in 60s it was not centralized movement everyone participated with different intentions and everyone have different expirience of 60s
Some people wanted to get high some to get girls some to run from home to see something new adventure novelty everyone were searching for different thing some got on hippie trail and stayed in Nepal or Thailand or even Japan and Australia. I think some people get something from it and some dont.
It was a period like everything in life
Some became addicted and some became writers,artists,scientists CEOs
Some stayed in communes living self sustainable life I think alot liberty came out from that movement and had some meaning but only for those with the true grip for reality in my meaningless opinion.
Much good was learned & came from this era & the hippies! It was not simply a fashion fad lol. It was truly a rebellion against conventional thought & a deliberate attempt to make change. Watch the documentary 'Commune' Peter Coyote made about Big Bear ;o)
Also, look into what life was like in the late 50's & you will clearly see what created the rebellion & how much hippies really did change ;o)
@@JustMe-nf1mf Right, to understand the 60's you have to start at the 50's.
Wow! What's up with the old Nun hanging in the park, making the scene?
I'm 27 but I totally identify with the hippie movement and 60's to early 70's culture. If I could I'd live those years.
i was born just to late i would of loved to of lived it in the late 1970's i hung with a few old hippies who held a few hippie fayres even that was a good time
Early to mid 70's was the best time of my life! I often wish I could go back.
I was there and there aren't many of us left who will admit that they were. That whole period either got edited in memory into young people out to save the world or turned into one non-stop party. It might seem like some profound statement now but it really was mostly shallow and arrogant. Young people usually are shallow and arrogant. Never believe anything people my age tell you - we're full of crap. We've been full of crap since about 1960.
👌 🆙 load's thanks much god bless 💘 🙏 💋 👐 👶 👶 🎸 🌹
a messy time! too many hippies converged on San Fran they were homeless too! it wasn't as glamorous as the music made it out to be!
Blue Bird... yeah but just imagine all the GOOD TIMES! (☆;-}
star cloud being homeless isn't a good time. Get real.
Wes: yes, living on the streets and catching God knows what kinds of STDs.
By the time George Harrison visited the Haight, it was a dreary, depressing mess. When Harrison wouldn't perform a concert for the locals & ingest their drugs, they became hostile to him -- & he hightailed it out.
@@norbertk9595 Very interesting.
What a dream!
For awhile it was.
lots of older criminals took advantage of the hippies grils ,lots end up on a ditch
Like Charlie Manson.
Evil will always be parasitic on the Good. It is the way of the universe. You build a comfortable home and there will be Evil to invade and steal it from you. You build a beautiful society and there will be criminals flocking toward who see an opportunity.
Expect this simple truth never to change in any lifetime.
Who's playing the music at the beginning? Sounds kinda like the Stones - a blues/Howling Wolf sound.
Hippies were doing some heavy drugs and acids! Haight and Ashbury
Song title? Artist??? Thanks!!!!
Stranger in my old home town - MotherEarth
Comparing this with the Mother Earth version posted on other youtube chanels they don't sound the same, i like this version very much, it almost sounds like the rolling stones, anyone know where the full song is available online?
Singer sounds like Pig Pen from the Greatful Dead
Rolling Stones Mick Jagger is the one singing if that helps.
Thought it sounded like country joe..dunno
Why is everything on Haight Ashbury 5 minutes long?
cool vee dub there
And now we wound up with the grandkids....Gen Z and TikTok and transitioning of perfectly healthy young women....
Who sings this
Its been a slow progression of our freedom being taken away.
Time traveler with his iPhone 2:39
Beauty saloon, make up shop, barber and shoe shops weren't good business
These people are my.moms age 70! My mom went to the haight late 60s. Smelled pot everywhere she said.
Who is doing this version of this song
ceecoursian sounds like the stones
I'm pretty sure It's Eric Burdon But I've never heard it until now.
reminds me of the chocolate watchband or someone
I think its Mother Earth
Did they ever find Bunee? I doubt it i can see what happened there shee disgraced daddy and herself big argument and bunee stormed out,just maybe she grew tired and disolusioned with the hippy lifestyle and went home again those poor parents
How naive we were.
Street footage such as this makes me wonder how many of those kids were locals who simply wanted to make the scene as hippies and then go home for the night. And that was the thing with that style, you could put on the garb and look the part, and then you could wear something else and nobody would ever know.
Some did, some where students in the area. Many did not & came from all over the country.
It was a cool little scene until Scott McKenzie put out that stupid song and the media pumped it all up. The summer of love was taken over by out of towners trying to out hippy each other.
Captain beefheart
All was good then but drugs. Few minutes of dizziness. Enables demon drugpushers
STP USERS DO NOT.....I had the misfortune to take that STP shit the first night it hit the street. Never dropped again and didnt smoke again for 11 years.
I traded some pharmaceutical amphetamine for a hit of orange sunshine and a hit of STP in 1972. The guy i traded with said the STP was in his freezer for a few years. I took the STP and it reminded me of the acid trips they tried to approximate in those old anti-drug flicks in school-nothing like actual LSD. It lasted well over two days and i was more than ready to come down. Interestingly enough, when i was doing really large doses of X in the Eighties it reminded me of that STP trip without the extra day-and-a-half extension package! Would you care to tell more of that experience? Or maybe best to let sleeping dogs lay.
@@out99990 supposedly this STP was the first on the street. Feb 1969. Id never heard of it. We spent a lot of time in The Haight.... Last year i found a Haight video, there was a poster saying "STP...bad trip...no take, see doc so and so at....." my trip was horrific and i didnt drop ever again. Didn't smoke for ten years. Took about three years to get sorta normal. I heard stp was a concoction of lsd, speed, strichnine!, mescaline....who knows. And if i recall correctly it was a small pill, orange, round at each end. Orange Barrel was an acid, i think, so i might be confusing the two.
@@LChem1 Thanks for the reply Purr Cat!
It was just way too large of a dose. A regular dose is awesome. I had one way too large dose myself once, not pleasent. Pretty sure I damaged my brain a bit. Otherwise known as DOM
@@monkeylovemagic3339 like i said, in 1969 STP had and still deserves a Bad Rep. The posters on Haight, warning people it was bad stuff, god knows what filth was in STP.
Except drugs all good then
Nah. It was good but had problems like anywhere.
HIPPIES IN 1960......HOMELEES IN 2021 IS U.S.A. TODAY.
Probably old white republicans now. Majority quickly grew out of the lifestyle and the drug culture and went the opposite way.
If a clergyman could not keep God's law_ then someone has to keep God's Law, perhaps God was using law enforcement of that time to keep God's law.
God's word tells us -> 'You are allowed to do anything but not everything is good for you. And even though "I am allowed to do anyting," I must not become a slave to anything.'
😶🕊
Besides man's laws CANNOT make moral what God has DECLARED immoral.
and if you want to know what is immoral and what is moral then read the Word of God the Holy Bible.❣ the Bible is a light unto my path and a lamp unto my feet.🌼🌷🕯
AMEN friends god bless 💘 🙏 💋 👐 👶 👶 🎸 🌹
You very arrogantly assume YOUR god is the last word on morality & judgement for everyone 🙄 It's a big wide world sunshine, & it holds many spiritual god beliefs & texts like your bible! In fact there are many many interpretations & versions of the christian bible alone.
You would be well served to open your heart & mind to the fact that your culture contributes to & creates your beliefs, they may not be superior to all others, & should not be used to judge & rule the behaviour of everyone!
Just trying to be a good, thoughtful, aware, kind, & loving person who does no harm, & respects the beliefs of others, should be the first priority of decent humans... & that would make the world a better place for everyone.
Society's function on a shared set of behavioural rules that cannot be guided by a singular specific doctrine if they are to succeed.
Translation.... I don't expect you to be governed by my personal spiritual beliefs & unless you expect to be required to live by mine, you can't expect me to live ruled by yours ;o)
Separation of church & state is the most valuable & common sense necessity if a democracy is to survive.
