"I prefer Imagine by John Lennon. Metallic rock was not "hippie music." " This discussion has NOTHING to do with musical preference. It sounds like you are saying that the Jefferson Airplane's music is not "hippie music" If that is so, then you are clearly wrong. It sounds like you are simply invoking the "no true hippie" fallacy. You accused me of making stuff up. You should either prove it or apologize and concede the point. The fact of the mater is: Manson was a hippie and his philosophy and actions were perfectly in line with a certain radical revolutionary views and elements that were front and centre in the hippie movement. "We are forces of chaos and anarchy Everything they say we are we are And we are very Proud of ourselves" (Paul Kantner, The Jefferson Airplane) The members of Jefferson Airplane were among the founding members of the hippie movement and any assertion to the contrary is either ignorant of history or dishonest. During the summer of 1965, Laughlin recruited much of the original talent that led to a unique amalgam of traditional folk music and the developing psychedelic rock scene. [7] He and his cohorts created what became known as The Red Dog Experience, featuring previously unknown musical acts - Big Brother and the Holding Company, Jefferson Airplane, Quicksilver Messenger Service, The Charlatans, Grateful Dead and others. There was no clear delineation between "performers" and "audience" and the music, psychedelic experimentation, unique sense of personal style, and Bill Ham's first primitive light shows combined to create a new sense of community.[8] .... Some of the earliest San Francisco hippies were former students at San Francisco State College (later renamed San Francisco State University) who were intrigued by the developing psychedelic hippie music scene and left school after they started taking psychedelic drugs.[7] These students joined the bands they loved and began living communally in the large, inexpensive Victorian apartments in the Haight.[15] Young Americans around the country began moving to San Francisco, and by June 1966, around 15,000 hippies had moved into the Haight.[16] The Charlatans, Jefferson Airplane, Big Brother and the Holding Company, and the Grateful Dead all moved to San Francisco's Haight-Ashbury neighborhood during this period.
