  • Hey, and welcome to the short stuff.

  • I'm Josh.

  • And we're going to talk about flower power.

  • So let's start doing that right now.

  • Yeah, kind of specifically the two flower powers, because there was one flower power movement in 1967, specifically an end of 68, that had to do with politics and protest.

  • And then there was a second flower power movement kind of either concurrently or on the heels of that.

  • That was a little bit more about like, hey, man, like, wear this cool shirt and listen to this music.

  • We're in San Francisco.

  • Yeah, that is a good point.

  • And one more from the other, I think the whole thing originally had its origin in 1965, thanks to Allen Ginsberg, who had become one of the luminaries.

  • He was like Neil Cassidy, one of those rare beat generation guys who was able to kind of make the transition over to hippie.

  • And so he became a luminary of this whole scene, the very beginning of, like, the hippie movement in the sixties.
