The real feeling comes from the fact that no one understood what was
happening well enough to package and market it at first. The fact that
it was aggressively p&m'ed later does not mean that it wasn't real at
first. The fact that most hippies "sold out" proves only that capitalism
was stronger than their idealism, not that their idealism was worthless
or non-existent. I still think we have a lot to learn from the 60s,
especially the mistakes made.
