At the end of the opening the camera then returns to a few

song. In one version of the opening Archie hugs Edith at
the conclusion, while another version sees Edith smiling
blissfully at Archie, while Archie puts a cigar in his mouth
and returns a rather cynical look to Edith. Additionally,
in the rst three versions of the opening Archie is seen
wearing his classic trademark white shirt. In the last ver-
sion of the opening for the series ninth season, Archie is
seen wearing a grey sweater-jacket over his white shirt.
The opening for the animated series Family Guy begins
with Peter and Lois Grin singing at the piano, a tribute
to the All in the Family opening. As with Those Were the
Days, the lyrics to the Family Guy theme song also seem
to imply that things have changed for the worse since the
old days (But where are those good old fashioned val-
ues/On which we used to rely?"). The All in the Fam-
ily opening is also parodied in The Simpsons ninth-season
episode "Lisas Sax", as Homer and Marge Simpson sit at
a piano and perform Those Were the Days with altered
lyrics pertaining to the episodes plot.
In interviews, Norman Lear stated that the idea for the
piano song introduction was a cost-cutting measure. Af-

The emergence of an interest in expanded spiritual con-
sciousness, yoga, occult practices and increased human
potential helped to shift views on organized religion dur-
ing the era. In 1957, 69% of US residents polled by
Gallup said religion was increasing in inuence. By the
late 1960s, polls indicated less than 20% still held that
belief.[48]
The "Generation Gap", or the inevitable perceived di-
vide in worldview between the old and young, was per-
haps never greater than during the counterculture era.[49]
A large measure of the generational chasm of the 1960s
and early 1970s was born of rapidly evolving fashion and
hairstyle trends that were readily adopted by the young,
but often misunderstood and ridiculed by the old. These
included the wearing of very long hair by men,[50] the
wearing of natural or "Afro" hairstyles by Blacks, the
donning of revealing clothing by women in public, and
the mainstreaming of the psychedelic clothing and regalia
of the short-lived hippie culture. Ultimately, practical
and comfortable casual apparel, namely updated forms
of T-shirts (often tie-dyed, or emblazoned with political
or advertising statements), and Levi Strauss-branded blue
denim jeans[51] became the enduring uniform of the gen-
eration. The fashion dominance of the counterculture ef-

Kommune 1 or K1 was a commune in West Germany,
and was known for its bizarre staged events that uctu-
ated between satire and provocation. These events served
as inspiration for the "Sponti" movement and other left-
ist groups. In the late summer of 1968, the commune
moved into a deserted factory on Stephanstrae in order
to reorient. This second phase of Kommune 1 was char-
acterized by sex, music and drugs. Soon, the commune
was receiving visitors from all over the world, including
Jimi Hendrix.[69][70]

Allmusic Guide states that until around 1967, the worlds
of jazz and rock were nearly completely separate.[163]
The term, "jazz-rock" (or jazz/rock) is often used as
a synonym for the term "jazz fusion". However, some
make a distinction between the two terms. The Free Spir-
its have sometimes been cited as the earliest jazz-rock
band.[164] During the late 1960s, at the same time that
jazz musicians were experimenting with rock rhythms
and electric instruments, rock groups such as Cream and
the Grateful Dead were beginning to incorporate ele-
ments of jazz into their music by experimenting with
extended free-form improvisation. Other groups such
as Blood, Sweat & Tears directly borrowed harmonic,
melodic, rhythmic and instrumentational elements from
the jazz tradition.[165] The rock groups that drew on jazz
ideas (like Soft Machine, Colosseum, Caravan, Nucleus,
Chicago, Spirit and Frank Zappa) turned the blend of
the two styles with electric instruments.[166] Since rock
often emphasized directness and simplicity over vir-
tuosity, jazz-rock generally grew out of the most ar-

In 1989 Hemsley, who had previously been a jazz key-

15.4 Cultural impact


The lingering cultural impact of the George Jeerson
character is such that Michelle Obama, the wife of then-
presidential candidate Barack Obama, referenced George
Jeerson in a June 2008 interview with the New York
Times. Referring to an unfounded rumor discussed by
a blogger that she had once used the word whitey in
a speech, Michelle Obama told the Times: You are
amazed sometimes at how deep the lies can be . . . I
mean, whitey? Thats something that George Jeerson
would say.[1]

16.1 Overview
704 Hauser at the Internet Movie Database
Norman Lear created the series during the time when 704 Hauser at TV.com
conservative talk radio was experiencing its initial up-
swing in popularity in the United States, particularly in
the form of Rush Limbaugh. Lear felt that the time was
right for a new show to explore some of the issues be-
ing discussed, and 704 Hauser was even more explicitly
political than All in the Family.
John Amos, a veteran of the earlier Lear sitcom Good
Times (itself a spin-o of the All in the Family spin-
o Maude), starred as Ernie Cumberbatch, while Lyn-
nie Godfrey played his wife, Rose. T.E. Russell played
their live-at-home son, Thurgood Marshall Goodie
Cumberbatch.[2]
The show featured a reversal of the original All in the
Family formula. Ernie and Rose Cumberbatch were blue
collar, working class Democrats, while their son Goodie
was an assertive conservative activist in the vein of
Armstrong Williams, Walter Williams, or Thomas Sow-
ell. To add further conict, Goodies girlfriend, Cherlyn
Markowitz (Maura Tierney), was white and Jewish, with
whom he had chosen a celibate relationship.
Audiences did not respond favorably to the show, which
was cancelled after just ve episodes (with one episode
remaining unaired).
In the second episode of the rst season of All in the
Family (Writing the President), Archie mentions a
black friend of his from the old neighborhood named
Roundtree Cumberbatch; Mike replies that he thinks the
name is made up.

in Chile, was held in 1970.[5]
Hippie fashion and values had a major eect on culture,

the arts. Since the 1960s, many aspects of hippie cul-

religious and cultural diversity espoused by the hippies

wide through a fusion of rock music, folk, blues, and
psychedelic rock; it also found expression in literature,
the dramatic arts, fashion, and the visual arts, includ-
ing lm, posters advertising rock concerts, and album
covers.[26] In 1968, self-described hippies represented
just under 0.2% of the U.S. population[27] and dwindled

ple traveled to San Francisco in the summer of 1967. The
media was right behind them, casting a spotlight on the
Haight-Ashbury district and popularizing the hippie la-
bel. With this increased attention, hippies found support
for their ideals of love and peace but were also criticized
for their anti-work, pro-drug, and permissive ethos.
According to the hippies, LSD was the glue that held the
Haight together. It was the hippie sacrament, a mind de-
tergent capable of washing away years of social program-
ming, a re-imprinting device, a consciousness-expander,
a tool that would push us up the evolutionary ladder.
Jay Stevens[60]

At this point, The Beatles had released their groundbreak-


ing album Sgt. Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band which
was quickly embraced by the hippie movement with its
colorful psychedelic sonic imagery.[61]
By the end of the summer, the Haight-Ashbury scene
had deteriorated. The incessant media coverage led
the Diggers to declare the death of the hippie with
a parade.[62][63][64] According to poet Susan 'Stormi'
Chambless, the hippies buried an egy of a hippie in
the Panhandle to demonstrate the end of his/her reign.

While many hippies made a long-term commitment to the
lifestyle, some people argue that hippies sold out dur-
ing the 1980s and became part of the materialist, con-
sumer culture.[88][89] Although not as visible as it once
was, hippie culture has never died out completely: hippies
and neo-hippies can still be found on college campuses,
on communes, and at gatherings and festivals. Many
embrace the hippie values of peace, love, and commu-
nity, and hippies may still be found in bohemian enclaves
around the world.[24]

a revival of the Mod subculture, skinheads, teddy boys
and the emergence of new youth cultures, like the goths

gave way to prog rock, heavy metal, disco, and punk rock.
Starting in the late 1960s, hippies began to come un-

to many dierent destinations, but gathered in large num-

The peace symbol was developed in the UK as a logo for
the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament, and was em-
braced by U.S. anti-war protesters during the 1960s. Hip-
pies were often pacists, and participated in non-violent
political demonstrations, such as civil rights marches, the
marches on Washington D.C., and antiVietnam War
demonstrations, including draft-card burnings and the
1968 Democratic National Convention protests.[127] The
degree of political involvement varied widely among hip-
pies, from those who were active in peace demonstra-
tions, to the more anti-authority street theater and demon-
strations of the Yippies, the most politically active hippie
sub-group.[128] Bobby Seale discussed the dierences be-
tween Yippies and hippies with Jerry Rubin, who told him
that Yippies were the political wing of the hippie move-
ment, as hippies have not necessarily become political
yet. Regarding the political activity of hippies, Rubin Tahquitz Canyon, Palm Springs, California, 1969, sharing a

19.4. LEGACY 101

On the West Coast of the United States, Ken Kesey was


an important gure in promoting the recreational use
of psychotropic drugs, especially LSD, also known as
acid. By holding what he called "Acid Tests", and tour-
ing the country with his band of Merry Pranksters, Ke-
sey became a magnet for media attention that drew many
young people to the edgling movement. The Grateful
Dead (originally billed as The Warlocks) played some
of their rst shows at the Acid Tests, often as high on
LSD as their audiences. Kesey and the Pranksters had a
vision of turning on the world.[139] Harder drugs, such
as cocaine, amphetamines and heroin, were also some-
times used in hippie settings; however, these drugs were
often disdained, even among those who used them, be-
cause they were recognized as harmful and addictive.[140]
In the 1960s the hippies heyday, it is believed drugs were
running rampant and little was done to enforce drug laws.
This stereotype is vastly untrue, by 1969 only 4% of
Americans had even tried marijuana. In reality very few
people consumed drugs.[141]
