I lived like one throughout the mid 80's-mid 90's
Hit a bunch of rainbow gatherings, Had long hair, numerous Hippy gatherings like Drum Circles, Bread and Puppet, Dead Shows, Phish shows, went On the Road!!!! Skinny dippin, trippin like a bliss ninny, having a blast.
In the 60's, I probably would have done the same. I dont think I would have been much of an activist though. I was more into the living in remote areas hiding from society with my buddies type
