Modern Day "Hippies" ( My project title)

Classic rock has always been a huge part of my life. It puts me in some sort of a trance that I do not come out of for a long while, well as long as the music is going that is. I love everything about it, mostly the root meaning of some of the songs or the people it attracted and the time frame from which it came. In the late 60's there was a huge festival of a bunch of peaceful Americans. It is the most remembered concert/festival of past American music. That festival was called "Woodstock," and it attracted thousands of people from all over the U.S. The most popular and well known group that it attracted was the "Hippies." They were basically a subculture of rebels, and they were very strong willed about what they believed was right. The "Vietnam" war was one of the most violent battles that America has ever fought and it turned the U.S inside out. People were outraged and full of violence. These rebels were against the war though, and they believed that everyone should come together and live as one in the world that we all have to survive in and help each other. The "Hippies" really kept strong to their protest against violence. They stood together against authority, and never backed down. These individuals were people that the older generations despised at that time. In my project I will explain all the events of the past with the "Hippies," and compare them to modern day people similar to them. I will be doing live interviews on some people that are actually "hippies." One of them being my friend David Desroche. The interviews will be full of opinions and what they think about life in their terms. I will also be recording live footage of different parties that they are at and at festivals such as "Schwagstock." The footage may be offending at some points of the project because things can happen and people can say stuff that others strongly disagree about. My project will also show what they do on their spare time when they are sitting around and their favorite foods or activities to do. There will be photos of the people I am interviewing and having in my videos. One of my friends will be showing us how to do cool designs on ty-dye shirts and just some of the things that they make. I will be going into the essay explaining the past and working my way up through the events of the past and eventually getting to the present, which will contain the interviews and photo and video footage.
