Document Summary
Disillusionment and anti establishment- no trust in government. Student movement: late teens were experiencing hard things in their life and looking for me, baby bloomers are now in college, they feel like numbers, not actually people. Feel like number in school and in draf. Communal living- college dropouts, groups of friends rent a house for cheap and live communally- spirit of counter culture. Anti establishment, against the norms and parents. Summer of 1967: lsd- lysergic acid diethylamide. Invited by government in wwii to use as weapon, but in 1966 it became illegal, but was still used. Professor leary from harvard said- turn on, tune in, drop out . Have to be good and drop out of traditional norms, you can tune in to yourself- what the counter culture is all about. Affects sense of time, body awareness, and movement. Coping mechanism with people who are experiencing disillusionment. Weekend of music: electric and anti establishment.
