The title should be "Sex, Drugs, Rock'n Roll, and Political Protests". The pictures presume any shirtless guy at a rock concert in the 60s with a headband was a hippie. Most of the pictures of "hippies" in this book look like college kids looking for free sex and drugs on Spring break or their weekends off. The book gives little coverage to the real counter culture pioneers, who are passed over briefly with a sentence or two, mentioning their exodus to the countryside, when the runaways and junkies took over the scene on The Haight.How can the author give so much coverage to the school bus journeys of the Pranksters and Wavy, and omit The Caravan, 50 school buses departing San Fran in 1970, led by Stephen Gaskin, once called San Francisco's acid guru? I kept reading the book thinking it would eventually get to the time when a major part of the counter culture movement took off for the hills of Northern Calf, Oregon, New Mexico, and even as far East as Tennessee, in the "Back to the Land" movement. But instead, the later chapters we get Alice Cooper(hippie? really?), and Woodstock 1999(hippies?), and the pop culture that followed the 60s.Hardly a mention of The Whole Earth Catalog, or Mother Earth News. Or the 1000's of college students across America in the late 60s, who were turning on, tuning in, and dropping out, starting health food stores, food co-opts, book stores, and moving to the countryside surrounding almost every University college town in America. Starting up homesteads, farming communes and communities. This book mostly looks at the 60s as a music, fashion, or political statement. It was much more than that, as CSNY sung in Wooden Ships:"Take a sister by the hand,Lead her from this barren land,we are leaving, You don't need us"I was going to give this book 3 stars for its nice pictures of the 60s bands and concert posters, but after reading the back page liner notes that give author credit for being a central figure in the development of the hippie movement(??!!), I subtracted a star. He might have had contact and experience with music and writing in England in the 60s, but I think he missed on a lot of what the counter-culture in the 60s was about, and what became of a lot of it in America. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Brilliant Nuggets of the *H*I*P*P*I*E* **60s** *by A***H on Reviewed in the United States on August 11, 2008* I loved Barry Miles book HIPPIE. It's an overstuffed, medium sized paperback that covers the time period starting in 1965 and ending in 1971.Each year is a chapter, and full of pictures and info that highlight the events; just enough to whet the appetite but not enough to become overwhelming or tedious. In fact it leaves you longing for more.Miles give you a taste of all the incredible events that have since become synonymous with the counter-culture of the 60s like: the Diggers, Haight Ashbury, The Human Be-In, the 1968 Democratic National Convention in Chicago, Vietnam, LSD, Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, Woodstock, Altamont, the Acid tests and the Merry Pranksters, and so much more!There are pictures on every page showing the scene, album covers, the music posters and the people and places that drove the hippie movement. I cannot express how much I enjoyed this book.There are a couple of small issues that I have with HIPPIE. One was the type size...I found the type a little small and it took my eyes awhile to get used to it, but they adjusted. Also, like I said, Miles just gives you enough information about the people, places, and events to give you a general idea of what was going on during that time so it does leave you wanting to know more. Of course, since there was so much going on in each of the years from 1965-1971 it would've been impossible to go into great detail about the events and people without having the book become too large. (For more in-depth look at the Haight-Ashbury scene in San Francisco check out  The Haight-Ashbury: A History )But it was informative and most importantly ENTERTAINING to read. I recommend this book to anyone who lived through the 60s or wished they did. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ They're having lots of fun with it *by A***. on Reviewed in the United States on August 4, 2017* Gave as a gift for a relative from San Francisco. It's the 50th anniversary of the "Summer of Love" and after visiting I sent this book. It was a big hit. They're still looking through it and reminiscing. They're having lots of fun with it.
