We care about you

• We should care about this movement because it was a time when people protested for the better use of resources and people started questioning politics.

• Peace was a key point in the movement.• People found a way to protest while still being

peaceful.

60’s man

• The 60’s were a lot different than today.• Long hair styles were the norm and flowers

were the power.• Protest songs were popular and tie-dye was

radical.• Pot and crack were just a few of the things

people did too.

Chorus:'Cause he's an old hippieAnd he don't know what to doShould he hang on to the oldShould he grab on to the new.

He's and old hippieThis new life is just a bustHe ain't trying to change nobodyHe's just trying real hard to adjust.

He was sure back in the sixtiesThat everyone was hipThen they sent him off to vietnamOn his senior trip.

And they forced him to become a manWhile he was still a boyAnd behind each wave of tragedyHe waited for the joyNow this world may change around himBut he just can't change no more

Bellamy Brothers — Old Hippie lyrics

The special grass is being referred to as weed. People generally thought hippies were crazy because of their likings to do pot, weed, and any other type of drugs.
