SEX, DRUGS & ROCK N” ROLL

WHY?? Counter Culture of the 1960’s is a direct descendent of the Beat Culture of the 1940’s Civil Rights—call to action for equality – Sit-ins, marches, protests, civil disobedience Free Speech Movement – Sparked by Jack Weinberg incident Rejection of conformist society (1950’s teen) Vietnam war – Unjustifiable war, institution of the draft, get back to our human roots of peace and love

WHAT DID THE HIPPIES WANT? Peace – Get back in touch with the innocence that has been lost through power struggles between races, social classes, sexes (need for open mindedness) Love – Have a respect for each other and the planet we are all part of—massive consumerism, rampant development, greed, power are destroying elements of love Revolution – Only through civil disobedience, freedom of self and acceptance of harmony can a perfect utopian society exist

What else is going on to fuel this? VIETNAM!!! – LBJ and Nixon must win war (containment) but also cannot expand the war (war never declared). WHY?? Wanted to appease anti war sentiments (excuse) but really did not want to drag CHINA into war. – Credibility Gap growing Journalistic term used to describe lack of trust towards government This lack of trust motivated young people to desire revolution

SEX NEW FEMINISM--- “The Feminine Mystique” Betty Friedan, 1962 – Women are frustrated—don’t expect much out of life Servers for children and husband 55 hours a week on household chores – Equal opportunity, equal pay, equal in the eyes of society – “The Pill” helped launch careers…also launched the sexual revolution Helped break down double standards of sex

SEX This led to the possibility of the Summer of Love 1967 – 75,000 young bohemians flock to San Francisco – Sparked by Ken Kesey and his Merry Pranksters, LSD, new styles of music and a desire to be free Sex was an important part of the concept of personal freedom Hair, clothing, personality helped propagate personal freedom Roe vs. Wade was a major victory for Women’s sexual rights

DRUGS LSD -- Lysergic acid diethylamide – Albert Hoffman 1938 – Psychedelic Drug CIA tested it on Bay area College students in early 1960’s (Ken Kesey) “Expanded the mind” “created total unity of all humans” “Open the doors of existence” – Inspired the hippy movement, acid rock and the summer of love

ROCK N’ ROLL New forms of music – The Beatles, The Rolling Stones Political – CCR, Joan Baez, Bob Dylan, CSNY Acid Rock – Grateful Dead, Janis Joplin, Jimi Hendrix, The Doors Next Thursday – Concert in Class!!

The End 1968 – Tet offensive, MLK, RFK, Nixon and Reagan in office 1969 – Last attempt to salvage ideologies of the era— Woodstock 1970 – Kent State—last nail in the coffin

Impacts of 1960’s Nixon – Watergate scandal – Uncovered massive abuses of power by Nixon’s administration Phone tapping of Dem. HQ, ordered harassment of political opponents, 48 people indicted, Nixon resigns Stagflation Oil prices went up, deficit spending (great society), factories shutting down High inflation, low consumer spending, high unemployment
