I’m an old guy so I was around during that time. The mindset was so different. If you had extra of something, you shared. We shared weed, we crashed at people’s houses we’d never met. If we had an extra seat in the car and you needed a ride you were in. Most of all, we shared the music and the feelings that came with it. It’s really hard to explain but as I watch my life winding down I think about those times quite a bit. One last thing, this is a frame of mind and how you think about the other humans you’re sharing the planet with. Be kind.
A friend that was adopted felt the same way, and a few years ago his birth mom got in touch with him, and he found out that she had been a hippie and that she got pregnant and the father of the baby abandoned her and decided not to abort but to give up her son for adoption. My friend was born on July 15 1969 in a clinic outside of San Francisco, and I feel that the nostalgia he feels for that era and these kind of songs are something that was passed on from mother to child even when he grew up in Orange County, California.
Y’all have destroyed the most prosperous state in 🇺🇸 ...a lil bit disappointed u ain’t gonna get any reparations....no one is u fuckin public school system losers
if i'd have a time machine, i'd go back to the 60s! Woodstock! (29yo) ;) and: Be Sure To Wear Flowers In Your Hair! World would be a better place if everyone wears flowers!
Unfortunately, these dope addled losers are the very ones who took over San Fransicko, and Commieforeignia, implemented all their wrong socialist and dope addled ideas, and subsequently turned California into the total wreck of a hellhole that is today. They didn't want to believe that their wrong socialist ideas would lead to calamity. But now we have the proof of what their own parents predicted would happen if their wrong ideas were implemented.
it was never this way.. it was just like today.. drugs, filth, poverty ,theft.that comes from no bathing, no money,no job,no place to poop... this was a dream that wasn t really real... it died and they all went to work and became yuppies and loved possessions as humans always do.
I was there in the 60's upon my return from Vietnam in 67. The summer of love. The beautiful people. Met a sweet flower child there. I pray that life has been good to her. The world needs those people today.
@arfer minute Drugs have always been around. Just remember, this nation has been under Republican or conservative Democratic rule since 1968. If you don't like things now, blame conservatives.
@arfer minute How you could sense 'smugness' in my post is a pretty cool trick since there was and is none. You, however, seem to have quite the angry chip on your shoulder, I suggest you chill out with some good tunes because apparently when you stopped being a violent drunk your unresolved rage still remains. Enjoy your day, Peace! ;-)

In such a vulgar and decadent world, how good it is to be able to hear a song like this, which brings us light and joy. I am 63 years old and I can say that we will always miss yesterday...Greetings from Brazil to all!
I'm English and was born in 1949 so spent all of my teenage years in the 60's. This was a massive hit in the U.K. and I promised myself, at 18 that one day I would go to San Francisco. That happened when I was 43. Had a month long holiday on the west coast of America, took in all the sights. Los Angeles, Carmel, Monterey and up highway 1 to San Francisco. Drove over the Golden Gate bridge with the radio blaring and guess what came on the radio, yes this song. Top down, singing my head off, got some funny looks but also got some people joining in. It was everything I'd hoped it would be.
This always reminds me of my Dad who loved this. He died at 33. I'm 58 now but I still have the vinyl single I keep but can't play. YT is great for these memories if nothing else.
69 years old , have loved this song ever it came out , those days will never come to pass again , pity the young generation will never know such heaven

I'm not an American and I'm not a hippie I'm only 28 years old, but as soon as I hear this song, tears come to my eyes. What soulful songs were sung in the USA during that wonderful era.
It's a tragedy the world did not embrace love and peace when it had the chance, now it's not to far off blowing us all to bits, all for ego and money 👿👿👿
Being a teenager in the 70's was magical, I don't know a better way to describe it! The music from 60's/70's was revolutionary and today, 50 yrs later, is still unrivaled.
While I was stationed in Southeast Asia in 67-68 this song was always played after the port calls for the next day were announced. We waited and waited for our name to be called because you knew you were going HOME the next day. I was one of the lucky ones. Such a beautiful song and Scott was amazing singing it. RIP Scott.
@@christinewingerter6612 llegue a conocer a los hipiies en peru .mayormente norteamericanos .Podemos nuevamente comenzar este movimiento pero mejorafo.ahora.
I`m at an age now where I still remember Scott singing this as if it were yesterday. I wouldn`t have missed this Era for nothing, I was so very blessed to go through it considering what music they knock out today , there`s just no comparison. I had the pleasure of witnessing every day of this era and it can never be replaced by any era before , or after , and It was quite simply, THE BEST one ever.

We had the best music EVER, what happened to our Hope's and wishes, the madmen so called government will not satisfy their lust and egos till we are all blown up.
I to enjoyed the 60's. Oh my....where did all the time go? I'm now 71 and this song reminds me so much of my younger days! It was one of my favourite songs then and still is to this day. Brings back so many memories.

@@michaelmeliambro5117 Why don't you tell us all why? I am interested to know.. Are you saying that the values were not good, or do you think it a was backward culture,. life was not perfect but we were not as greedy as everyone is now.
@@rohansrider BOTH the values AND the culture. Before the Counterculture began (1945-1963), people of all ages knew how to make good, constructive use of their time. There were no reports of acid trips, no raucous music polluting the airwaves, entertainment was clean and family friendly, and we had everything we needed to live a truly wholesome existence. For me, our long social and cultural decline started with the assassination of JFK, followed by the needless escalation of the war in Vietnam, the Summer of Love, MLK, RFK, the Chicago DNC protests, Nixon extending the war into Cambodia, Kent State, the 1973 oil crisis, Watergate, etc. No peace, no love, no harmony, just CHAOS!!!!! The lasting impact which this moment in history has left on our mainstream "culture" of today sickens me to the core. "All You Need Is Love???" BULLSH*T!!!!! Love can't pay your taxes!!!! Love can't cure cancer!!!!!!
This song is a time machine, nothing could transport you to that era the way these images and that 1-derful John Phillips tune can. Scott McKenzie was a marvelous singer.
The visuals in this video are perfect and show the place and time as it was, and match the song perfectly. That's how it really was, folks. A message of love and peace heard around the world. Hold on to it.

In 1966 I was just out of the service back from Vietnam .. tried college several times only lasted about 3 weeks each time.. I knew I had to get away from my buddies in New Hampshire and go off to college far away.. I went to a small college in Taft Ca then on to San Francisco State 1969-70.. Seeing and hearing Scott McKenzie's song... brings back those wonderful days... Searching the crowds looking for my face.. at 78 I wonder how many of those young faces are around today.. This is my time capsule it will never change.. for the years have aged my body my mind is as young as it was then.. Peace/love..
Ever since I discovered music as a kid in the early 70's this song has always been one of my absolute favourite songs of all time. It just simply spells out the summer of love, and it's simply so heartachingly beautiful.
Fue en la primavera ,verano de 1967 cuando por primera ves escuche esta cancion,la tocaban mucho en las estaciones de radio que habia el area de la bahia de San Francisco,norte y centro de Ca.La verdad me invade la nostalgia cuando escucho canciones de esa epoca. Mi agradecimiento a mis tios ( q.e.p.d.) y primos quienes nos brindaron su casa y nos llevaron a conocer la ciudad de los puentes.Va un saludo a todos los que crecieron escuchando aquella musica.que nos recuerda lindos momentos. love & peace !
I wish we could have cloned hippies in there millions, got rid of all governments , and just had peace and love, what a fantastic world we would have had now!

I was 19 at the time and lived in San Francisco then. I remember when this song was released. It had an immediate effect on me, just like hearing The Beatles for the first time. It was a good way to begin the Summer of Love.
My wife just explained about that movie. I never saw it, but I can say that the late 60s in SF and the SF Bay Area were interesting times, full of young people in love, great music, drugs (mostly weed and psychedelics), as well as violent antiwar demonstrations, mostly on college campuses. Not everyone was a hippie, by the way, and after the summer was over most of those kids went back to their midwestern homes, with many interesting and enriching life experiences. The ones who remained in SF had a rough time of it: living on the streets, doing hard drugs, getting VD, etc. Not a pretty scene.
I love this song. 40 years ago, I lived in Palo Alto and Sunnyvale, just down the road. I drove around San Fran in my VW Golf blasting this song along with the Mama and the Papa's. Just awesome songs that may you feel GOOD!

Just came across this totally by accident this evening. When I met my wife it was being played everywhere, so it became our song. That was in 1967. Today is the second anniversary of her passing . How painful is that but what happy memories it brings back....
Cherished memories for sure! Our song was nothing compares to you, by sinead o Conner. Years later! But same feelings. She has been gone 20 years now. But the love is still there! Peace bro

I was 15 in June 1967 and fell madly in love with a beautiful girl I met at our Junior High graduation dance. We had a summer of love that was magic with all the great tunes of the day, including this one. I wish I could go back and do it all over again.
One of the best songs ever! Most people think of Scott McKenzie when they think of this song, rather than John Phillips of Mamas and Pappas, who had actually wrote it!

the music has been there for a long time. and it has been there for us if we chose to remember and replay. our first date face to face was to at mortensons family ice cream shop on the berlin turnpike in newington ( now a mexican styled subway fast food joint. and mortenson dairy bar out back. for ice cream fron the motenson family dairy at one time thy made wheelbarrows of ice cream. literally. a shop grade brand new wheelbarrow with tons of ice cream and it was reasonably priced. i will have to see if the mini mortenson ice cream dairy bar or shop still sells wheel barrow ice cream. if they do i will order one. and have it delivered to berlin congregational church for advent workshop scheduled after 10 am sunday service that my perpetually half hour late to church late wife and my life on earth partner. and maybe for eternity. only god knows what life can be for me. if god grants my wish to marry my jane again i would make following changes. one change. of time church time is 10 am june 26 1999 and it starting time is 10:30 ( jane"s church time jane rarely makes 10 am but makes 10 and a half o clock and that is jane time. now i am running lste more later.

I wasn't born until 1969, four months after Woodstock, but sometimes I wish I had been born about 20 years earlier so could've lived when the "Summer of Love" took place and experienced that complex time in history, both the good and the bad. I'm a Christian and believe Jesus will one day bring true peace to this broken world. But it would have been neat just to be alive when all that stuff was happening.

I absolutely love this song, I grew up in the 60s and am grateful that I did. This video brought me back and I could feel the aura all around me as it played out. People were gentle, more giving and forgiving then and we never thought of mass killings, school shootings or being cyber bullied. Yes, there were problems, but not like we see in societies around the world.
Those who served in Vietnam and those who went to Sanfranciso were both beautiful people just different paths , A classic moment in our time , agog bless all of you , wish and crave for the flowers generation now.

I’m an old guy so I was around during that time. The mindset was so different. If you had extra of something, you shared. We shared weed, we crashed at people’s houses we’d never met. If we had an extra seat in the car and you needed a ride you were in. Most of all, we shared the music and the feelings that came with it. It’s really hard to explain but as I watch my life winding down I think about those times quite a bit. One last thing, this is a frame of mind and how you think about the other humans you’re sharing the planet with. Be kind.

I'm 31 yo and when I listen to this song I feel nostalgic for something I've never lived. It makes me dream. We need this to come back more than ever.
A friend that was adopted felt the same way, and a few years ago his birth mom got in touch with him, and he found out that she had been a hippie and that she got pregnant and the father of the baby abandoned her and decided not to abort but to give up her son for adoption. My friend was born on July 15 1969 in a clinic outside of San Francisco, and I feel that the nostalgia he feels for that era and these kind of songs are something that was passed on from mother to child even when he grew up in Orange County, California.
Y’all have destroyed the most prosperous state in 🇺🇸 ...a lil bit disappointed u ain’t gonna get any reparations....no one is u fuckin public school system losers
if i'd have a time machine, i'd go back to the 60s! Woodstock! (29yo) ;) and: Be Sure To Wear Flowers In Your Hair! World would be a better place if everyone wears flowers!
Unfortunately, these dope addled losers are the very ones who took over San Fransicko, and Commieforeignia, implemented all their wrong socialist and dope addled ideas, and subsequently turned California into the total wreck of a hellhole that is today.
They didn't want to believe that their wrong socialist ideas would lead to calamity. But now we have the proof of what their own parents predicted would happen if their wrong ideas were implemented.
it was never this way.. it was just like today.. drugs, filth, poverty ,theft.that comes from no bathing, no money,no job,no place to poop... this was a dream that wasn t really real... it died and they all went to work and became yuppies and loved possessions as humans always do.
I was there in the 60's upon my return from Vietnam in 67. The summer of love. The beautiful people. Met a sweet flower child there. I pray that life has been good to her. The world needs those people today.
God, if only I could go back and stay there forever, that would be my paradise peace man 🤟
@arfer minute Drugs have always been around. Just remember, this nation has been under Republican or conservative Democratic rule since 1968. If you don't like things now, blame conservatives.
Not for nothing but we're 'boomers' now and we're still around :-)
@arfer minute How you could sense 'smugness' in my post is a pretty cool trick since there was and is none. You, however, seem to have quite the angry chip on your shoulder, I suggest you chill out with some good tunes because apparently when you stopped being a violent drunk your unresolved rage still remains. Enjoy your day, Peace! ;-)
We are still here...yeah...

GREAT COMMENT,"PEACE" FROM THE UK.
I'm English and was born in 1949 so spent all of my teenage years in the 60's. This was a massive hit in the U.K. and I promised myself, at 18 that one day I would go to San Francisco. That happened when I was 43. Had a month long holiday on the west coast of America, took in all the sights. Los Angeles, Carmel, Monterey and up highway 1 to San Francisco. Drove over the Golden Gate bridge with the radio blaring and guess what came on the radio, yes this song. Top down, singing my head off, got some funny looks but also got some people joining in. It was everything I'd hoped it would be.
Being a teenager in the 60s were the "Good Ole Days"
You should repeat it nowadays.
This always reminds me of my Dad who loved this. He died at 33. I'm 58 now but I still have the vinyl single I keep but can't play. YT is great for these memories if nothing else.
Totally Cool! Highway One is fun.
This wasnt just san fransico. It was all across the country. Beautiful times.
I'm 70, and remember those days! Best times ever. What happened to us since then? I sure do miss those days of love, happiness and joy!
69 years old , have loved this song ever it came out , those days will never come to pass again , pity the young generation will never know such heaven
So true! I’m blessed to have grown up in the 60’s a wonderful childhood with music that has enriched my life over the years. Bless you ♥️
Not your age but its the only song I can think of that makes me nostalgic for a time I didnt live through.
I know. I grieve for those loving days
69 and still held by the love
in reality, the haight ashbury district was just as today.. homeless, jobless, drug addicted, unbathed filthy young people living in squallor
I'm 72. Where has time gone. Still best music ever.
LOL I think music already was perfect before your generation had to come f*ck it up!!!!!

Being a teenager in the 70's was magical, I don't know a better way to describe it! The music from 60's/70's was revolutionary and today, 50 yrs later, is still unrivaled.
Actually ur on point 👌
While I was stationed in Southeast Asia in 67-68 this song was always played after the port calls for the next day were announced. We waited and waited for our name to be called because you knew you were going HOME the next day. I was one of the lucky ones. Such a beautiful song and Scott was amazing singing it. RIP Scott.

@@michaelmeliambro5117 Why don't you tell us all why? I am interested to know.. Are you saying that the values were not good, or do you think it a was backward culture,. life was not perfect but we were not as greedy as everyone is now.
@@rohansrider BOTH the values AND the culture. Before the Counterculture began (1945-1963), people of all ages knew how to make good, constructive use of their time. There were no reports of acid trips, no raucous music polluting the airwaves, entertainment was clean and family friendly, and we had everything we needed to live a truly wholesome existence. For me, our long social and cultural decline started with the assassination of JFK, followed by the needless escalation of the war in Vietnam, the Summer of Love, MLK, RFK, the Chicago DNC protests, Nixon extending the war into Cambodia, Kent State, the 1973 oil crisis, Watergate, etc. No peace, no love, no harmony, just CHAOS!!!!! The lasting impact which this moment in history has left on our mainstream "culture" of today sickens me to the core. "All You Need Is Love???" BULLSH*T!!!!! Love can't pay your taxes!!!! Love can't cure cancer!!!!!!
I WANT TO GO BACK AND STAY FOREVER.

What a lovely time we had back then
You are not the only one . We have too all wear some flowers in our hair in order to get over what they are doing too us !
In 1966 I was just out of the service back from Vietnam .. tried college several times only lasted about 3 weeks each time.. I knew I had to get away from my buddies in New Hampshire and go off to college far away.. I went to a small college in Taft Ca then on to San Francisco State 1969-70.. Seeing and hearing Scott McKenzie's song... brings back those wonderful days... Searching the crowds looking for my face.. at 78 I wonder how many of those young faces are around today.. This is my time capsule it will never change.. for the years have aged my body my mind is as young as it was then.. Peace/love..
Back from Vietnam and do not feel guilty? What did the Vietnamese do to you?
I'm 68 now. This song is eternal. They will be playing it in 2322.
XD How do YOU know????
I was born on 1967, great song, great sound of the bass... I love it!!!!
Ever since I discovered music as a kid in the early 70's this song has always been one of my absolute favourite songs of all time. It just simply spells out the summer of love, and it's simply so heartachingly beautiful.

What do you remeber of the summer?

@@michaelmeliambro5117 not familiar with the matrix, sorry.
My wife just explained about that movie. I never saw it, but I can say that the late 60s in SF and the SF Bay Area were interesting times, full of young people in love, great music, drugs (mostly weed and psychedelics), as well as violent antiwar demonstrations, mostly on college campuses. Not everyone was a hippie, by the way, and after the summer was over most of those kids went back to their midwestern homes, with many interesting and enriching life experiences. The ones who remained in SF had a rough time of it: living on the streets, doing hard drugs, getting VD, etc. Not a pretty scene.
I love this song. 40 years ago, I lived in Palo Alto and Sunnyvale, just down the road. I drove around San Fran in my VW Golf blasting this song along with the Mama and the Papa's. Just awesome songs that may you feel GOOD!

This makes me so nostalgic. What has happened to our world? We need more peace and love for one another. Music is a huge peacemaker if you let it. Love this - thanks so much for posting!🌷💐🌾🌿🏵🌻🌺
What's the point??? Got you nowhere before, why the f*ck would u try it again?????
the music has been there for a long time. and it has been there for us if we chose to remember and replay.
our first date face to face was to at mortensons family ice cream shop on the berlin turnpike in newington ( now a mexican styled subway fast food joint. and mortenson dairy bar out back. for ice cream fron the motenson family dairy at one time thy made wheelbarrows of ice cream. literally. a shop grade brand new wheelbarrow with tons of ice cream and it was reasonably priced. i will have to see if the mini mortenson ice cream dairy bar or shop still sells wheel barrow ice cream. if they do i will order one. and have it delivered to berlin congregational church for advent workshop scheduled after 10 am sunday service that my perpetually half hour late to church late wife and my life on earth partner. and maybe for eternity. only god knows what life can be for me.
if god grants my wish to marry my jane again i would make following changes.
one change. of time church time is 10 am june 26 1999 and it starting time is 10:30 ( jane"s church time jane rarely makes 10 am but makes 10 and a half o clock and that is jane time. now i am running lste more later.
@@JR-pr8jb i am not saying that i disagree. with what you said it is stuff we agree with with
killing anyone is in violation of line of the ten commandments line 6 thou shall not kill. mankind adds the with the line exception of war and enemies. political rhetoric.
@@JR-pr8jb Yes, I remember that was a terrible time in our history and you are right - the tensions were just as high. So sad that it seems we never learn...
if the hippie´s movement would had won, what happened in the world?
It is a interesting question? I think the world wolud be different, A world better.
“Gentle people”, 2 words that sum up the hippies of the time!

This video is awesome! Going back 55 years ago! The people in it are in their 60s, 70s, and even 80s today. It makes one wonder what became of them.

I grew up in the 80s!! A great time, but I was also brought up on this kind of music, I’m in my 40s, I’m sat in bed listening to this and can’t help thinking I missed out on something!!!
This is beautiful. It’s so sad that today looks like everyone is filled with hatred, both on the left and on the right.
What did you expect??? It's no coincidence that all those who had even suggested the idea of peace to us were met with the same, dark fate.....JFK, RFK, MLK, Ghandi, Christ, Lincoln, Malcolm X, John Lennon. What hope is there for love OR peace in this eternally bitter and divided world of ours???
True because back in those days people accepted you as a friend down at the Beach and the Bay area...

as a Uk resident. this reminds of time spent at the seaside resort of Blackpool. I remember going to the funfair The Pleasure Beach... and everyone was wearing flowers, bells etc. I was 17 so loved the whole feeling. So... great track, with great memories.

people lived more in one day than us nowadays in a year !! love from Switzerland
What a starting point the Woodstock festival got in history. I want to call it the time of freedom and it should be allowed to come back in today's world. It is needed more than ever! A stork thank you to the farmer who lent his land to the festival when they got no from Woodstock! I am 62 years old today and still have faint memories of it to this day! Long live the music!! Love from Sweden!
Y did u let Muslims invade ur country n now any Swede Woman is at risk of being raped or worse...great job there douche

No people like this nowadays, beautiful days, happy memories, no tinting phones ringing every minute, where's that time machine...
This song is iconic and captures the peace movement perfectly
It was a hate experience with domestic terrorist freaks running amok
@@patlaw398 yeah but we have the hippies to thank for getting read of all of that. It was the perfectly imperfect decade
The Song Has The Ability to Push You
Back to 1967!!!✌✌👏👏👍👍😊
Now if only it could push me back to 1937.
🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

LOVE this beautiful song ! Peace and love.

'I just want to share this song and mv it just makes me happy, warm inside and all teary eyed just looking at these people happy, free, and living their life:) don't you think this is how it should be again?😊 let's put flowers on our hair whenever we get the opportunity🥰🌼"

I was born in South East Asia. When I heard this song I was only 10 years old and I repeatedly heard this song and hope one day I could visit this beautiful city. Today I am leaving in the Bay Area which is very close to San Francisco.
so blessed to have been a teen in the 60,s
Such happy memories of myself and all those beautiful people I have been to san Francisco and all those peoples are now in their middle 70s now LOVE ❤ PEACE

I was 13 when my parents took me to San Francisco. It was July 1967. It left such a beautiful feeling on my up to this day
I always dig seeing this old footage… wish it could go back to times like this.
What an era !!!
Both crazy and magical !

I live in San Francisco. You might want to have alot of money these days. Costly place to live. We still have flowers, peace, love and alot of great bay area bands of the 60s. Still a great place to live. Iam happy to call it home
Yes, we have that in the UK too - the ‘ gentrification ‘ of working class areas cos the ‘ middle classes ‘ just want to treat property as a ‘ commodity ‘ !😡🤷♀🤬
@@christinescarff4920 I don't like the fact that people are unable to get homes in their own area because of flaming commuters pushing prices up.And then daring to moan if they don't like farm smells or church bells because they have bought a property close or next to those essentials.
I an so glad I was around during these classic tunes!

Not anymore. Unfortunate but by design by the elite we fought against.... in fact many are the rulers today. Here's to a better future.
THE GOOD OL' boys network sure fucked up that idea...
Wish we could go back, PEACE MAN 🤘
I am from Brazil, but lived in San Francisco from 1970 to 1972. I still get emotional when I hear this song.

My sister moved in 1980 from the Netherlands to San Francisco Bay so I've been there several times for a holiday. A wonderful city with his famous attractions such as Haight-Ashbury. When I was in that district in 1996 the Scott McKenzie-classic overwhelmed my hippie-mind.

Except if you count the 50's, of course.

@@patlaw398 It will be for everyone delusional enough to follow the ruinous Hippie cult of personality!!!
I wasn't born until 1969, four months after Woodstock, but sometimes I wish I had been born about 20 years earlier so could've lived when the "Summer of Love" took place and experienced that complex time in history, both the good and the bad. I'm a Christian and believe Jesus will one day bring true peace to this broken world. But it would have been neat just to be alive when all that stuff was happening.
I lived this time
Chose to stay away from most drugs
But, oh, the music... in Ann Arbor, Detroit, in Berkeley and San Fran, San Jose...
Everywhere and friends that represented the rainbow
Time went so fast
Now I am 70 instead of 20
Thank you for this lovely video

I was there and Woodstock what I wouldn't give for it to be that way now. Beautiful ❤️
I absolutely love this song, I grew up in the 60s and am grateful that I did. This video brought me back and I could feel the aura all around me as it played out. People were gentle, more giving and forgiving then and we never thought of mass killings, school shootings or being cyber bullied. Yes, there were problems, but not like we see in societies around the world.
❣❣❣
But you DID think about acid trips, loud rock, and your anti-establishment stance, didn't you????
No Michael, I did not think about acid trips or anti-establishment. I did think about and enjoy loud rock because I was just a fun loving teenager.
@@charlotteavery4040 And an irresponsible one, at that. Makes me all the more glad I didn't grow up then.
@@michaelmeliambro5117 OH YEAH MAN ✌✌
Those who served in Vietnam and those who went to Sanfranciso were both beautiful people just different paths , A classic moment in our time , agog bless all of you , wish and crave for the flowers generation now.

I was a kid born and raised in Ayrshire in The west coast of Scotland
And I thought the world 🌎 was going to be like this for everyone and Wars suffering and hunger were to be banished through love kindness and just being of help to each other
The world today is awful
Greed stupidity and hatred stalk the land
We are less free today and sadly that wont change
I believe in the saying whatever is born of a time has the qualities of that time
Thank fuck I was raised and growing up in those times as the qualities have got me thus far and will sustain me
Love is all you need
That and a Starman waiting in the sky ❤❤❤❤❤
