I don't know how old you are, or where you are.... but I don't take any notice of books and theories written 'after the fact'. For those of us who were London (UK) teenagers in the 60s, the US music and film industries barely figured in our lives. We were influenced by our own music and arts scene and, despite persistent rumours to the contrary, we developed our own fashions, passions and morals which were later (1968/9) exported to San Francisco by our best musicians, i.e., Fleetwood Mac and Peter Frampton. It took them many years to develop an influence in the USA and we did not hear from them again until 1975 when Fleetwood Mac (with newly recruited Nicks + Buckingham) released their Rumours album.
The people who latched onto our shoeless, flower power freedom later began to call us 'hippies' but that was not our choice. We were 10 years down the line by then and somewhat offended that our 'love and peace' mantras were claimed by posers and drug-addled yanks who hadn't a clue about the real origins of our cultural development.
We UK city kids grew up surrounded by bomb craters and the remnants of a fierce war which we heard about continuously. Our desire for love, peace and freedom came as a direct reaction to that. It was not 'manufactured' by the Tavistock Institute and nurtured by agencies like the CIA, but it certainly was studied by them because it was a beautiful cohesive force among the young.
Since then, I see that psyops have dirtied and smeared and obscured and hated until generations who were not there at the time are under the impression that we were led by the Military Industrial Complex and its associated think tanks.
I am not having it and neither would any of our genuine London Marquee artists like: Pink Floyd, Genesis, The Who and the original members of Fleetwood Mac and the Herd.
