This is what Elysian Park in Los Angeles looked like in 1968. And yes, it looks exactly like what you expect.
The world of 1968 seems to have been split into two dynamics: political unrest, with protests, assassinations and civil rights... or young people too full of drugs to care one way or the other. The reality, of course, is that most of the 1960s was just as normal as any other decade.
But who wants normal? Here we see a bit more of the drug culture. While there is at no point any footage of people using drugs, the implication is clear. The dress, the reactions to the music (on an almost spiritual level)... these are hippies. And lots of them.
