Hippies ... from Some of the Brightest of the 20th Century Minds

Firing Line was Buckley's stage and he invited the best.

As is the perennial way, there's the complaint about biased media.  Hippies evolved but media didn't.


Don't get tragic about Jack Kerouac since he became a drunkie and it killed him but the Beat Generation gave us the Tibetan masters for the hippies.  You may be highly surprised to hear Kerouac expressing his Catholicism since he sounds remarkably like Pope Francis.

Yablonsky from The Fugs keeps up with Buckley with no trouble.  He also observes the problem with the 'obnoxious matriarchy' in France under Madame De Gaulle.  So dry.
