this is the latest stage in the evolution of the hippie movement. the hippies are trying to get away. so, they go out to a cabin in the countryside and start a commune. here they can get away from the tourists and the reporters that badger them in san francisco. communes started. this is really what the hippie movement was all about. an idea of sharing everything, clothes and food and everything. people could just help themselves, you know? we lived communally because it was the cheapest way to live. a lot of people began to clarify and simplify their lives. what will follow this dispersal of the hippie movement to the countryside is hard to predict. they may be, as they say, coming here to build the foundations for a new society in this nation. or they may be becoming like the woolly mammoth, to find their own extinction. down where the wood vines twine, that s where i meet my love down where the sun never shines, down in the woods

down where the wood vines twine, that s where i meet my love down where the sun never shines, down in the woods where the wood vine twines i was working for the new york times in the catskills. and there were just a couple of us going up there. as we went north of the city, we began to run into traffic jams. i finally said to a cop, what the hell is going on? he says, i don t know, there are thousands of people here, and they re all going to some farm. and it was, of course, woodstock. i think woodstock was an opportunity for people to realize they weren t alone. a lot of people who in their hometown or in their family felt isolated realized they weren t. the townspeople, quite frankly, were terrified at the prospect of the hippie arrival.
