Since I'm not all into the historical value of this war like I should be... I plan on telling you, my readers, about the hippies, and the new era of music, and the changing times because of the war.
Hippies: long hair, colorful ensembles of clothing, abundant in jewelry, and playing their guitars. Hippies were a culture within the 1960's. They wore loose t shirts, headbands to hold back their long braided hair, woven belts, jeans fashioned with patches of all sorts. Hippies were a people of peace and tie-dye. They ate organic food and lots of them were vegetarians. They were of the earth and in tune with Mother Nature. Hippies were often high from smoking weed, and they let themselves go basically. They were full of free spirit and were all about the love and peace. They hated war and were definitely anti-vietnam.
Music during this era changed; rock 'n roll sprung forth. Bands like The Beatles, and The Rolling Stones and The Doors became popular. These artists simply fed the hippies their drugs. The Beatles were almost always stoned, or "on something" when they wrote their songs which are still popular today. One of their songs, "Lucy In the Sky With Diamonds" is an acronym for LSD- the drug the 4 Beatles were likely taking at the time of writing their music. One of my favorites by The Beatles is the classic "Yellow Submarine". [:
