What we equate with acid, hippies, and garish polyester prints actually began as a theatrical way of protesting bans on free speech and the Vietnam War. When the hippies got hold of it, it definitely transformed. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Hey, and welcome to the short stuff.
I'm Josh.
And there's Chuck.
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.
