They're pretty old now. That was 41 years ago, mang. Most of them are probably in their mid-sixties by now.

Many of them can be found wandering around the labyrinthine corridors of their frazzled minds, muttering about soybeans. But...

The 70's.supercubedude64
is what my Big Book of Cultural History says too. I reckon Woodstock marked the end of the dream to a lot of people rather than some sort of turning point.

If they didn't die they learned guitar, and you'll always see them as that old guy with the grey hair pony tail who turns up at family barbecues or weddings.

Yes, the dream died. Most of them probably moved on.

Not really. Say someone was 20 when they went to woodstock. They'd be 60 now.

Sixty is still pretty young for a nursing home, unless they have some sort of serious medical problem (which most old hippies probably do, actually).

For the most part, those hippes from yesteryear are your grandparents. And they probably smoked more pot, dropped more acid, and had more unprotected sex in their college years than you ever will in your lifetime. Yay for the '60s!!!

Not sure if you're quite understanding what a hippie is.

Being a juggalo has never been a groovy fad.

The next groovy fad after being a hippy was.......disco and dacron polyester leisure suits.
