Hey man, is that freedom rock? Well, turn it up, man!
"Rockers were in tune with the initial “beyond politics” stance of counter-culture, epitomized by the Beatles’ song “Revolution,” but rock remained awkward vis-a-vis Marxism, not least because however suited it was for broadcasting leftist denunciations, rock was only possible in a media-suffused market society where people would buy lots of records, concert tickets, etc."

Feel free to reply to any comment by clicking the "Reply" button.Why so many hippies became Right Wing, Conservative business men and women as well. Greed took over for love. Or maybe we were all just a small blip on the screen of history.

@Fred_Snerd I didn't say we all sold out! But a whole lot did.
@Fred_Snerd That was kind of my point. Maybe we were not as big a group percentage wise as it seemed. Again, media manipulation. The hippies got tons of time on the news, but the majority were still building up their resumes and getting MBA's.
