Re: Hippys in the UK?
I'm 69 and I was too old to be a hippy but they were plentiful here, I used to be halfway between a mod and a rocker, wore suits no leather jackets, wore winkle picker shoes and sometimes suede shoes, a real mixed up kid, I liked the Beatles and the Rolling Stones and dare I say it Frank Sinatra.Re: Hippys in the UK?
Hi Jem. Bob Dylan was an American folksinger/songwriter that was very popular during the mid 1960's, if memory serves.He couldn't sing very well, imo, but he was a prodigious writer. He caused an outcry when he started using electric guitars; the purists called him a sellout.Re: Hippys in the UK?
For a brief period i was an imitation Hippy, liked the music and fashion of the time 66-68 but Psychedelia came along and added to heavy music i evolved into denim man. Bye bye flares, and tye dye T shirts, hello Levis, Wranglers, trainers, Led Zeppelin, Captain Beefheart, Pink Floyd.and the Velvet Underground.
