Document Summary
Lecture 17: the death of the hippie (1967) The human be-in: jan 14, gathering in golden gate park to recreate innocence of early days. Featured sf bands, haight"s tribal elders, all groups invited (diggers didn"t show) Ginsberg and snyder: chanted for peaceful event, ginsberg led sacred dance. Leary gave his politics of consciousness speech. But: crowd just wanted to hear music and get high (white lightening lsd) The be-in was just a successful concert, but old people saw it as evidence that. America"s youth were out of control, american"s youth say it as evidence that they were in control. Media played the event up, harmed the hippie community, come to san francisco! . April: young people flocking to the haight fueled by if you"re going to san. While documentaries credit this song with the immigration, the timing was off (april, June), intent was wrong (supposed to publicize monterey pop festival), real hippies.
