Oh, there was a hedonistic edge to it, to be sure. I think that's why the hippy movement ultimately failed. But they had some good ideals about truly changing the world and elevating thought. I think those ideals still hold value, and we could take lessons from them.

There's as much hippy in me as there is shit-kickn' redneck. I tend to throw people for a loop that way, when they get to know me in person.
