[Kitkat0987654321]

@ljmchugh177 Amazing, wish I could go back. The music was all electronic, however... not exactly my thing. Just gets worse, we need The Beetles and Scott back.

[ScottInVa1760]

Don't put the flowers in your hair... save 'em to send as condolences to NYG fans after this weekend. They're gonna need 'em!

[kimiko5996]

@ScottInVa1760 Really? You're gonna start a football argument on here? It's the most peaceful song there is, come on bro.

[ScottInVa1760]

@kimiko5996 It was meant to be humorous... relax. And it didn't work anyway... :-(

[kimiko5996]

@ScottInVa1760 I didn't mean any offense, just wanted to make sure some fanboy didn't start anything. And sorry 'bout that :/

[edyken77]

@ScottInVa1760 please beat them for me. Still hurting from the Packer's loss.

[ScottInVa1760]

[Markthompson123]

San Francisco isn't the same.

[whohungupmykitten]

I had an epic dream last night.

And this was the song played in it

[blistershot]

To bad San Francisco sucks shit and Philadelphia is better. (yes this is coming from a NEW YORKER)

[sharkie88s]

@blistershot fagidelphia is fucking shit

[Rockinnsk8inallday]

Its such a good song, Zeppelin did their own rendtion of it in Dazed and Confused

[soupdragonuk]

has been one my favourite songs since I was about 11 or so, I'm 47 this year. It's such a beautiful song. Of my simpler times, but not as good a times as people make out. Same as today good and bad things happened. But the music of then is far, far superior to the mindless garbage produced today.

[MrFacebookAdict]

Thumbs up if you're listening this in 2012 to chill :)

[barysnikov]

So, this was a pretty cool movement. But every generation has their good movements and their bad movements. The generation depicted in this movement was also known for spitting on the veterans who got drafted into the vietnam conflict. Our generation had the "free hugs campaign", which was pretty rad.

[MrGalena9]

hippis are faggots

[whydoesthismattr]

@MrGalena9 then why the fuck are you on thsi page, to reflect what you are inside onto other people, wtf man.

[PandielmohumAniemoh]

Have a HIP 2012 ( Humorous Innovative Positive ) 

[TEDOVSKY]

With wars breaking out everywhere and a nuclear war with russia seeming inevitable both my wife and i left amsterdam for california in 1965 for it's art, music, and orgies (!). It just seemed that we youth then were tired of wars, and joining a peace movement seemed the right thing to do. We really thought we could change the world for the better, especially around the "summer of love" in 1967. We both hope that a future youthful generations will succeed in PEACE for the world, where we failed.

[CopiusAwesome123]

I don't agree with the political views of most hippies... but goddamn if i don't absolutely love their music!

[summerskin32]

want to bring this back , all back

[Salb814]

I hate my fuckin generation, i only can wish that I lived during the 60s, this song alone is way better than all that bieber and lady gaga bullshit, and for some reason this song makes me have tears of joy

[yesvoman]

to all the "i was there"ers - where are you now?

where are we now?

[dawid1213ful]

Ahhh... awesome ;((( i love this...

Ifff yourrr goiiiiing toooo Saaaan Francisssccooooooo !!!!

[JesdaG]

WHO IS ERMINE

[LenicaLevica]

LoWiIiSkUyEm tEnTo sOnG =D Toe WoDWazZz Woe!!!

[masterandmargharita]

If only this generation had won and changed society, we wouldn't be living in all this capitalist bullshit now, where 1% own all the wealth, and nobody gives a shit about anyone else. What a shame, people in the west would have been much happier.

[papajoe51]

I was there...:-D

[Ms2158]

Indians !!! =D

[nighthawk9421]

damn I've never really heard this song till i was on my level smoking them herbs

[chu6466]

[fresh8ty6]

[Biggyandsmallsmusic]

@sup1990able Seems like a really sad story man .. Best of luck to you !

[Mauroleiicus]

I got a birthday card with this song in it! :D

[loungerenownrecords]

I was living and working in LA in the summer of 1969.I used to go visit my sister,

who was living in a room on Lookout Mountain Drive in the Hollywood Hills.Scott

McKenzie lived across the street.That fall I went back to the Bay Area to resume

my college studies.My friends and I used to go to the Haight-Ashbury district in

San Francisco and hang out.Like Scott McKenzie's great song,Eric Burdon had

his great song,"San Francisco Nights." Great times!! "I Want Yo' Number."

[yxoxuxxtxuxbxe]

i am strolling through all these old good songs and can't help but to feel sorry for us newer generations....

[jeff62rey]

Am I alone in feeling that back then, at least people could dream and the mass abandon to jaded, cynical corporatism we increasingly witness hadn't yet purchased our societal soul as today? Just listen to the music of 40-50 years ago and the music today and the difference not only in musical styles, but heart and soul become achingly apparent.

[salpithon]

My mother died yesterday. It was one of her fav song.

[queerp]

@salpithon r.i.p

[AveNoctis]

thumbs up if you still listening this in 2037 :)

[queerp]

@AveNoctis are you in the future bro?

[VibrantCompromise]

@RealityRedone I think I love you.

[steveparok00]

THANK YOU FOREST GUMP!!!! SO MANY UNDISCOVERED SONGS UNTIL 1994!! MUAHAHAHA

[british123able]

saan fraaan ciscooo

[xMiESAMP]

i love this song, fantastic!

[mouse12345ify]

I NEED TO GO THERE LET S KEEP THAT LOVE ALIVE IN 2012 AS WELL:)

[RealityRedone]

@mouse12345ify I'm just 17, so I understand the desire to experience this phenomenon yourself, but not only has society changed to the point where such a social revolution would be impossible to replicate, the magic and mystery of those times gain new momentum when you consider that it was unique. The fact that the magic of the Counterculture now exists only within the art it inspired and the stories of those who were a part of it only makes it more romantic, more legendary.

[charliegrs]

@RealityRedone Your only 17? You are more articulate than most 35 year olds I know. Are you American? I would be surprised if you said yes.

[RealityRedone]

@charliegrs

I've found that the issue with the prominent lack of verbal sophistication you've described is usually founded in willful ignorance of basic language skills - it's not that they don't know how to formulate a coherent sentence, it's just that they don't care.

I've also found that people tend to underestimate the power behind word choice and semantics. Mastery of communication is crucial to shaping the way people view you, and few people realize that.

[Braxl91]

@RealityRedone "Mastering communication" also has the power to make you look like a pretentious douche.

[RealityRedone]

@Braxl91 Only to those who either fail to comprehend the semantics of my statement or are part of the very category I described earlier.

[thetwopointslow]

@Braxl91 Well put man

[RealityRedone]

@charliegrs Oh, my ethnicity is rather complicated. I was born in the Caribbean, lived in Europe from age 2 to 13, and have since resided in the US. So yes, I'm American - sort of.

[opatronico]

@RealityRedone damm it man! u have 17!?¡ u are smart dude! ;)

[ToutanKanar]

@RealityRedone Nothing less sure than your remark.

Because you decide as many others than love and freedom can

not come back wavely on earth so it should be ? that is just a bad

idea in your brain, that your cleverness, royale and mad, came about.

Intelluctual pride and her development are, how to say, so vain and dangerous. Mmm but you conclude so well about life , who would say no ( laugh )

[whydoesthismattr]

@RealityRedone Thats true dude

[jeff62rey]

@RealityRedone The names and the places indeed change generation to generation; however the basic human need for love, decency, and justice in the face of top heavy authority-abuse remain the same. We might be talking about a Government and its war powers in one generation, or Wall Street in another. The pent up social movements we have witnessed this past year are a reminded that, "The more things change, the more they remain the same."

[KindBoxes]

@RealityRedone Thanks for the kind words. I was in the Haight, and I was 19. It was the "Summer of Love," and this song ruined it for everyone. The scene became overwhelmed with wanna-bes and runaways, not to mention tourists and assholes looking for some "free love" with a hippy chick.

[KindBoxes]

@KindBoxes That said, it was a wonderful time to be young. There was a constant feeling in the air that we were changing the world. Any one with long hair was cool and could be trusted. Hitchhiking was safe and so were most drugs. Pot was Mexican and ten bucks would buy enough to last a while, most acid was Owlsley and a couple of bucks a hit. A gallon of gas and or a pack of cigarettes were both 25 cents. The days were long, the nights were cool, and everyone was "Beautiful."

[KindBoxes]

@KindBoxes Scott McKenzie was never a hippy, he was and still is a professional musician.

Thanks for your time.

Have a beautiful day!

Ps. we were also responsible for Smileys.

[ZarahRinuwar]

Great memories of times I never knew

[Akratash]

omg 98 peoples whats wrong with u ? :( i cant understand that...... this was music and lifestyle and a feeling of freedom GGGGGGGGGGGGGGg

[someymehra]

Go Niners!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!

[AwesomeGuyWithWrench]

Life is cruel, but this song make it less cruel.

[gocathy]

This was one of my brothers favorite songs.He died 42 years a go today in a car wreck.

[monsteriott]

One of the most beautiful songs EVER! This song is legendary...

[thealanhudson1]

This is for Nancy Hudson, 18 months old - she's looking for those flowers....

[roseheroine]

The guy at 0:22 is soooooo dreamy. Wish I could have met him. Too bad, he's probably an old hobo now. LOL.

[jwsoriano510]

97 people fucking suck!!

[SuperBlueAlex]

a nascera una quarantina d'anni prima :')

[jmyers4597]

Brings back good memories!

[zikplay]

[CosmicAimer]

This started playing in my science lesson, so I air guitared and sang along but I seemed to be the only one who knew the song...):

[ChintamiAtmanegoro]

damn this is good song :)

[KyleBarlow93]

97 People didn't wear flowers in their hair.

[KyleBarlow93]

I love this song, but i HATE Hippis with a passion. They are just immature fuck ups. :)

[oakman11]

@KyleBarlow93 to make that idiotic statement about people you don't have a clue about, you are obviously not from this time in history.

[KyleBarlow93]

@oakman11 Hippies are idiots, they hate Capitalism but yet they drive cars..

[oakman11]

@KyleBarlow93 some of the wealthiest people in this country (those capitalists that you are badmouthing) are a product of my generation. They are not all Left Wing nuts. I sir was born in the 50's, are a product of the 60's, served my country honorably in the US Navy and me and my friend are glad to have been a part of that generation. And by the way, those hippies are the majority of this country. Semer Fi

2:04 John Lennon *w*

[oldiesbutgoodies67]

This video is in the timezone of the last chance, Beatles fans had to intercept John Lennon's Stalker, Yoko Ono and I'm not kidding. The Beatles had at least a couple albums left after "Abbey Road" and "Let It Be" without Yoko...To this day, no one can stand her...Dan O'Niallain

[WilleDuds]

Washington Redskins lost last sunday for the San Francisco 49ers, but i still love this song! =)

[ZeppelinGraffiti]

why the fuck has the man on 0:17 a swastika on his hat?

[SutTakova]

@ZeppelinGraffiti

he is NAZI HIPPIE !

[falseprophecy]

@ZeppelinGraffiti It's a Buddhist symbol.

[deadxkorps]

@ZeppelinGraffiti Zwastikas are a Hindu and Bhuddic symbol meaning "eternity". Hitler took them for symbol because his theory was that Aryans were linked with Indians (the name Aryan is actually the name of an old Indian-related people), before meaning blue-eyed blonds. Bhuddism and Hinduism were big among the hippies, so there you go.

[OuchLOLcom]

@ZeppelinGraffiti Because its a Buddist symbol

[pimpmegirl]

fuckin ad's

[annemargotfrank]

niceperson33 that is how kiwis sing!

[2Dchan]

[ePoNa1One1]

omg that's me right now lol

[4540524]

The guy at 0:17 has got a Sun Cross or "Swastika" in his headband. Not like it isn't originally a sign of peace but still, It's a fucking Swastika and that made me lol.

[KRUKnKUIPpwnSCULLY]

i feel like san quinn made this song a lot more popular

[WeAreGenY]

I admire the 60s youth for standing up and am so glad to finally see my generation do the same. Such a peaceful song to hear.
