Yep before the Hippies there was the Beatniks. Man when you look at this you wouldn't think it was 1960.

I guess England did not get rid of their Puritans after all....

I thought the 'outraged' older generation seemed pretty chilled about it all .Hats off to the beats though.Looking hippy cool way before the sixties started swinging.Big difference between their conceousness and the band wagon jumpers who followed
