Hippie Culture

We talk about the hippie culture of the 1960s and 1970s and ask what happened to hippie ideals. Guest host Patt Morrison speaks with John McCleary, author of The Hippie Dictionary: A Cultural Encyclopedia of the 1960s and 1970s. McClearyÆs book contains thousands of entries, from the Monterey Pop Festival to the phrase œright on.” He and Todd Gitlin, professor of journalism and sociology at Columbia University and author of The Sixties: Years of Hope, Days of Rage, discuss the era.
