It started pwoppa youth counter-culture. The anti-Viet war movement succeeded in the end. The whole hippy India thing comes from there. And we wouldn't have had Punk or the rave scene without it.

And given that's where the whole British new age traveller scene and free festies started, I don't see how you can say they sold out. Dropped out, yes, sold out, no.

Bliss was it in that dawn to be alive
But to be young was very heaven.
