In tribute to the late great Hippie Yippie proto punk Mick Farren (watch him speaking from the audience) who died onstage recently, here is the much shown video (which many of you have seen more than once) of the legendary ‘invasion’ by Hippies/Yippies (including Yippie founder American Jerry Rubin) on The David Frost tv show in 1971. Great theatre. Different times. Very (white) male dominated to say the least. Last cry of the white male Countercultural movement of the Sixties.
