hippies 339.hip.0012 Louis J. Sheehan, Esquire

is about a “tribe” of hippies in 1968 on New York's Lower East Side. Through songs that became pop hits, such as “Aquarius,” “Let the Sunshine,” “Easy to Be Hard” and, of course, “Hair,” various tribe members tell their stories. Every kid's story is overshadowed by the looming draft, the Vietnam War, the drug culture and the desire not to fall into the lives of their parents. In other words, the '60s.
