As to defining Hippie songs.. How do we describe the stuff done in the last 40yrs by people like C,S,N & Y, Donovan, Dylan, Grateful Dead and all those 60s Hippies?? Are they Hippie songs? or are they songs sung by Hippies?... It`s a fine line I suppose...
It depends on the era of the original performance I'd suggest. Donovan, Dylan, the Dead, members of the Byrds/Buffalo Springfield who partly became C,S,N & Y all had good roots in the folk/protest era which you could trace back to Guthrie and Seeger. From the folk scene came the folk rock scene which blended in with the British invasion and then hippie. The people behind the music would still qualify as residents of the era but that era was over.
Maybe what I'm really trying to get across is that as a member of the "me" decade, we never once used the term hippie as applied to the music of the day.
A very detailed and interesting article and not too far of topic I hope.. although a little overblown maybe
An extract:
" For a brief period in the 1980’s the Hippie lifestyle seemed passé and years out of style, but it re-charged itself vigorously in the 1990’s. Even though the media tends to anachronize young hippies, Rainbows and environmentalists as remnants of the 1960’s, anyone can see by looking at the photos that accompany this article that Hippiedom is really just a perennial sub-culture…as old as the first humans that ever walked upright, and as new as the 30,000 plus members on the Hip-Planet site.
That’s why hippies will never go away…because they’ve always been here anyway."

Yes.
Also, I was a little young, about 14 in 1968, but I know I never used the term 'hippie.' We were all freaks. Like the Fabulous Furry Freak Brothers.

Yes.
Several years ago, I visited my younger kid's high school (which also had been my own) and I felt as if I had walked into some sort of time warp, because everyone looked and acted as I had in 1970--and some of them really seemed sincere, not just playing dress-up.
Who could forget that one eh?? It had a big revival over here in the 90s, it was heard everywhere..I liked this too,, YouTube - Frozen Orange Juice....Peter Sarstedt

Sadly, he didn't have any impact in the States other than his 45 Where Do You Go To My Lovely, from the Spring of '69. Just thought of one that is absolutely a hippie song; Doctor Hook's The Cover Of The Rolling Stone, from '73.
