switzerland. do you feel happy? what yes. you must be because you have tears in your eyes oh is that a beautiful experience? would you say i would say yes some people think it's when kesey discovers lsd that the counterculture in california is born. >> because more and more people than want to try to experience what kesey experienced and he becomes a promoter of it kesey created a drug commune at la honda, which is an hour from san francisco great artists love smashing traditions and it is best kesey was doing that. everybody would have this communal lsd trip together. tom wolfe would write the electric kool-aid acid test about it. >> people were constantly slipping drugs into my food. >> the number of times that i

him up because we were in his presence, we were just acting as goofy as we could playing music, putting on costumes doing all kinds of acts and stuff like that and kerouac sat on the couch drinking a big, tall budweiser he was obviously not an enthusiastic guy those beats, they had done their thing. >> you know, i really felt like the torch had been passed from those guys to the psychedelic generation kesey, in many ways, was very messianic, and he started feeling that acid would allow you to see a larger truth. >> and they started saying let's get as many people to try lsd as you can. >> and so we started running halls. we called the thing the acid test, and the band of course, was known as the warlocks as time went on, they changed their name to the grateful dead saint stephen with a rose in and out of the garden. >> he goes country garden in the wind and the rain wherever

he goes, the people all complain lsd was not an illegal drug. >> when kesey held these acid tests as they were known, they'd have two vats. one was punch and one was punch. with lsd, the acid tests were like a party. >> the scene is a lot of light shows and music, and people dancing. and when the dead were playing, it was a way to feel that acid in waves and i looked down and i saw kids in front of me moving to the music. they looked up at me and i said yeah the drug culture really took hold, and that's where artists where there was a grateful dead or jefferson airplane were able to embrace it and put it in their music the counterculture in california is born because

more and more people than want to try to experience what kesey experienced and he became the kind of grand poobah of the carnival of san francisco in the 60s. >> there's nothing grown up or sophisticated in taking an lsd trip at all. there just being complete fools cnn heroes, an all star tribute meet and celebrate the honorees, then find out who will be hero of the year plus a special tribute to michael j fox, cnn heroes, an all star tribute. >> sunday, december 8th at eight on cnn it's closed. >> what about my letter? >> call uncle brian to the north pole never the december to remember sales event. >> get offers on select models i'm barbara and i'm from saint joseph, michigan i'm a retired school librarian i'm also a library board trustee a mother

cbs news without any flowers in its hair, is in san francisco. >> because this city has gained the reputation of being the hippie capital of the world i got accepted in san francisco state and i found an apartment at haight and clayton street, right in the center of what would become the haight ashbury, the psychedelic shop on haight street started just over a year ago. >> it spreads the gospel of a dreamy new utopia based on brotherhood and love and lsd. >> to all the people out there that are that are confused and hungry for some kind of spiritual meaning in life that's why all these people are down here. that's why there's so much interest in the haight ashbury, because it offers some kind of hope we moved up and lived right down the street from the psychedelic shop, and people were growing their hair long. >> they were wearing beads, they were playing music on the street. it was just an incredible environment at that point. at the beginning, that's when it was just like

one big giant family before you knew it, it was a congregating place for artists and the dividing line seemed to be the psychedelic experience. >> you couldn't understand the posters, you couldn't understand the fashions, you couldn't understand anything. if you hadn't gotten high. >> the diggers group scrounged food and money to feed free those who arrive in panhandle park with a bowl and an appetite diggers are people who share, says their manifesto, and their aim is a society where everything is shared everything free. >> the diggers were one of the first groups that were into social consciousness about what was needed to take care of this huge group of people that were coming into the haight ashbury free shop looks more like a playground at first sight. >> here they make sheets and clothes for other hippies who can come and take what they want without paying anything for it. >> everything in the store was free. tools clothing, televisions and so we were

inviting people to imagine a way of life that would please them, and then to make it real by doing it. >> what we're thinking about is a peaceful planet. >> we're not thinking about anything else we're not thinking about any kind of power. >> we're not thinking about any of those kind of struggles. we're not thinking about revolution or war or any of that. that's not what we want. nobody wants to get hurt nobody wants to hurt anybody we would all like to be able to live an uncluttered life a simple life, a good life, you know, and like, think about moving the whole human race ahead a step or a few steps. >> we wanted to learn more about the real meaning of life. why are we here? certainly not to kill each other, but here to celebrate life, to make music and do art and love. each other. >> these people are hippies they represent a new form of social rebellion. it is hard to figure out what positive things they are in favor of the reason we can no longer identify with the kinds of activities that

that the older generation are engaged in, is because those activities are for us, meaningless. >> they have led to a monstrous war in vietnam for example, we did want change from war from rigid ideas of what the sexes ought to be doing a change from black people ought to be here, and white people ought to be here no. >> why can't we try and make that work? >> the haight-ashbury community has created the council for a summer of love in san francisco. >> the council is calling for creative love happenings for every weekend throughout the summer. we ask all who come here to come here in love. and we ask all who live here to greet all men with love they at their best are trying for a kind of group sainthood and saints running in groups are likely to be ludicrous. >> they depend on hallucination for their philosophy. this is not a new idea and it has never worked it was sort of a divide

of generations a lot of mistrust. >> young people didn't trust old people old people didn't understand young people. what's so offensive about long hair? >> it looks sloppy. >> just it doesn't. it doesn't differentiate the boys from the girls. >> enough. >> we didn't call ourselves hippies. the hippies are a fabrication they were an attempt to diminish young adults and infantilize us and it certainly serves to exclude the people that were deeply thoughtful about the world, that were ready to dedicate their lives to making change, and that questioned the paradigm of materialism. >> look around you. nothing works the only thing the kid is presented with is when you grow up. look, you know, you can join the army. you can go to war, you can get a gig working as an engineer and become a vegetable and drive to work in your own car and your own big

they don't they don't like hippies, and they don't like the things we do. >> and they try to harass us and bother us in some way. >> their revolutions are war between generations. the hippies rallying cry is never trust anyone over 30. >> the war of youth culture against the establishment is in full swing on every front. >> about four policemen and a plainclothesman came in and said, everybody get out, everybody get out! the store is closed. they wouldn't give a reason, they wouldn't identify, you know under what premise they were doing this when we asked them, they started pushing people around. they pushed people physically out of the store. >> the mayor is this is really very insidious. what he's up to. he wants to stop human growth. >> the hippie leaders say all will be well flower power will prevail they say it will be a summer of love. the great pilgrimage hopefully they'll be right if it's necessary to bring in national guard, i'll bring in national guard. >> i'll use whatever force is necessary i'm going to let you

catskills and there were just a couple of us going up there as we went north of the city. >> we began to run into traffic jams. i found a state cop. i said, what the hell is going on? he says, i don't know. there were thousands of people here and they're all going to some farm and it was, of course woodstock i think woodstock was an opportunity for people to realize they weren't alone. >> a lot of people who in their hometown or in their family, felt isolated realized they weren't the townspeople, quite frankly, were terrified at the prospect of the hippie arrival. >> i was apprehensive. this little hamlet has a population of under 100 people. when i started hearing the figures of 200,300, finally 500,000, we had a sea of people there the

word got out. >> everybody and their brother came from all over the country first, that sudden rain then the thirst and hunger from the shortage of water and food just for the opportunity to spend a few days in the country getting stoned on their drugs and grooving on the music. we got together and had a little powwow about, what are we going to do to feed these people? we went into new york buying 1,500 pounds of bulgur wheat, 1,500 pounds of rolled oats, 130,000 paper plates 130,000 dixie cups and i believe we served 200,000 people. >> by now there are tens of millions of people who feel themselves to be an irresistible river of change and you get something incandescent freedom. freedom freedom freedom freedom.

weekend, came to an end today. >> admittedly, there was marijuana as well as music at the rock festival, but there was also no rioting. >> what did not happen at that dairy farm is possibly more significant than what did happen. >> these long haired, mostly white kids in their blue jeans and sandals were no wide eyed anarchists looking for trouble. they remained polite residents and resorts freely emptied their cupboards for the kids. merchants were stunned by their politeness, and while such a spectacle may never happen again it has recorded the growing proportions of this youthful culture in the mind of adult america. >> whenever you see a phenomenon especially if you're living in it at the time, you tend to think that's the arrival. this is the dawning and the start of something new. unfortunately, woodstock just marked the end of it with straight talks real unlimited data say yes to unlimited streaming.

doing what they were supposed to do. so we suggested using hells angels and that the other side of the slide, i believe now what happened was that a lot of speed and alcohol, that's a deadly combination for bikers we tried marty said the f word to one of the hells angels while we were on stage the hells angel knocks him down. that was just the beginning. >> i'd like to mention that the hells angels just smashed marty balin in the face and knocked him out for a bit. i'd like to thank you for that. >> you talking to me? >> i'm going to talk to you. >> not talking to you, man. i'm talking to the people that hit my lead singer. >> talking to my people. right let me tell you what's happening you what's happening oh, no one makes you larger and

one pill makes you small and the ones that mother gives you don't do anything at all. >> oh, that's what the story is here. >> oh bummer. really? i mean, like, it's scary who's doing all the beating? >> hells angels. hells angels are doing beating on musicians. >> marty got beat up. >> really beard, man, it's really hard for us houthis i think you know when logic when we left it was dark and the rolling stones were on and we were on a helicopter. >> paul kantner looked down and he said, wow, it looks like somebody's getting killed down there. he was right. they were

down on the dark side peter everything in cori close in california, five members of a so-called religious cult, including charles manson the guru or high priest have been indicted in the murder of sharon tate and six others. >> all the elements are present for one of the most sensational murder trials in american history. seven people brutally murdered in a glare of hollywood publicity. the involvement of a mystical hippie clan which despised the straight, affluent society. young girls supposedly under the spell of a bearded svengali who allegedly masterminded the seven murders. morning. good morning. >> sun shining this morning. >> it is. yes. >> charles manson, cleverly

masqueraded behind the common image of being a hippie. goes up to the haight-ashbury district, surrounds himself with a young bunch of followers. their lifestyle was sex and lsd trips. eventually, he gets them to commit mass murder for him with blood. the killer had scrawled on a refrigerator door the words death to pigs. you see, prior to these murders, no one associated hippies with violence and murder. people would pick up a hitchhiking hippie. there was no big deal. but after the manson murders, you saw a hippie with long hair hitchhiking and the image of manson would enter the driver's mind and they'd drive right by by the time of charles manson and watching altamont and seeing what happened there, it symbolizes the drained idealism of the spiritual quest of the beats and early hippies today, the magic is gone aimless and disorganized. the hippies have fallen prey to their own free spirit free love, free drugs, and too much free publicity have gradually

corrupted them. something happened to haight ashbury since last year. we hear it's not the same place. >> well, no it isn't. the love ins brought more and more people. and then people who were really just bums and just trying to get into a good thing, you know free food, free everything. and so they all just came in, you know. and a lot of really rotten people. and so now you've really got a bad thing. i mean, it used to be you could set your stuff down beside the road and nobody would touch it. and now it got so you couldn't even put your your things inside of a building. somebody would come along and take everything you had. >> well, one day i woke up very hungry and, you know, very dirty and tired and disgusted so i decided, you know, get a job and settle down and get serious. >> joe's job is making jewelry. he's been taking a six month course to learn how it's hard to begin getting up at 8:00 every morning. >> and doing all those changes. joe bought the suit, uncomfortable though it looked. >> will he be equally uncomfortable in his new life? >> there have been generation

gaps before, but today's is probably the widest yet. can the joe's of america bridge the gap and conform without society making concessions in return i'd say there was a common element in the counterculture of people trying to invent a new world but people mature their point of view gets more nuanced. >> the costs start to come due. children come into the world. >> that idea of sex, drugs and rock n roll. it's a youth dream. then youth dies. >> yet our mainstream culture took what it needed from the hippies. >> the actual movement of the 60s was the movement towards something more authentic in the 60s, we thought of other people as part of our own family. >> we were into caring for society as a whole. >> this is what the revolution is all about. mercy is better than justice. the carrot is better than the stick, and the most important lesson is be kind. be kind to me, every day

was a high watermark we played music all day long we worked. >> we did not have jobs. it was the most carefree period of my life. dylan has this great line in an early song. he says, i wish, i wish, i wish in vain that we could sit simply in that room again $1,000 at the drop of a hat. i'd give it all gladly. if our lives could be like that
