1967

Year of San Francisco’s notorious Summer of Love which took place exactly 50 years ago this summer. The counter-cultural phenomenon—intended as a rejection of the materialist values of modern life–was marked by wine, music, pot and sex. (Summer, it seems, remains remarkably consistent year to year.) More than 100,000 people (sometimes called flower children) participated in the Summer of Love.
