And, just a small point - the "hippies" left in 1970, many moving to Marin County to take up the straight life. Surprisingly - or maybe not so surprising - many of the long-haired, dope-smoking, brown-rice-and-veggie-eating, Mario Savio following hippies I knew in 1967 are now quite conservative, even if they espouse a liberal philosophy, and drive "Marin County VW's" (that's a Porsche for those who don't know Marin).
If anyone visiting California wants to see hippies, I tell them to drop by Davis, where I went to college (aka university for you international-types), or anywhere in Mendocino County. Davis is something of a hippy mecca, and most of Mendocino County is remote enough that folks there just live however the heck they want. Beautiful area, too.
Not a hippy, but knew quite a few, John Celio
