“Free Love” was a part of the hippie culture . . . meaning loving all people as sisters and brothers . . . but didn’t this culture usher in the sexual revolution?
When I think of hippies and flower children, Cheech and Chong come to mind . . . they depict hippies in the truest sense of the word and have been immortalized as such in a string of movies centered around the love of sex, love, pot/marijuana and of course, rock n roll from back in the day.
It was a time between the eras of “Leave It To Beaver” where mom and dad could not be depicted on television as sleeping in one bed . . . they always had twin beds . . . to present day era of “Sex and the City” where they stopped putting notches on the bedpost because they ran out of room. What we see on television has gone way past the extreme opposite to sometimes vulgar.
We’ve gone from a time in the 60’s where being a virgin was something to be proud of . . . to present day where it is something to be rid of like a disease.
Did the sexual revolution start on that street called Haight Street in San Francisco where they wore flowers in their hair?
In my opinion, it started there and gathered moss . . . like a rolling stone . . . what do you think?
