Was Jesus the first hippy?  If so, what 60's rock group could you picture him in?

Iron Butterfly, totally...\n\nBut he'd probably be a solo artists along the lines of Arlo Guthrie. "You can get any thing you want at Jesus' Restauraaaaant!"

AWESOME! Rock is a powerful force in the past causing parents, politcians and naysayers to go nuts! Especailly in the 1980's. The '70s, not so much controversy, but still one of the better eras full of Black Sabbath, Zepplin, Judas Priest, Dio. The '80s had tons of awesome acts like GNR and Def Leppard. I still love some of the strange lyrics and songs of the '90s much of which is Stone Temple Pilots and Alice in Chains with a bit of Red Hot Chili Peppers. It's sad to me that rock music isn't pissing enough people off and some of it is just terrible. Sure bands like Velvet Revolver, Audioslave and Red Hot Chili Peppers are great, but we need some new blood in rock! Hopefully more bands like Avenged Sevenfold will come out soon.

Hippies were a sort of extension of the 'beat generation' aso called Bohemians or beatniks. They were a collective of artists, writers and poets that started a non-conventional, free-er, forward way of thinking and expresssing. Anti-authoritarian and left wing. The beatles growing their hair and getting psychedelic in '68 inspired new styles and ways of expression. The explosion of rock bands in San Francisco and the UK started an incredible phase of popular music that spread the hippie movement quickly. Woodstock, the summer of love. Unfortunately the 70's disco movement and it's cocaine seemed to have swallowed up most of the 60's hippies. They either OD'ed or became lawyers or computer geeks.

I'm the original 60's man. I became a teenager in 1960 and grew up through that wonderful decade when music was really born. Prior to that we had stuff like Perry Como and Frank Sinatra but as soon as the Beatles arrived the music scene exploded. I loved the Beatles and was lucky enough to see them play and meet them. I've never seen anyone better. I still play in a 1960's Rock and Roll Showband even though I'm 60 in January. We play pure live music with three guitars drums and a vocalist playing only music from that era.We don't use backing tracks or light shows just pure music as it was then. Living in England I liked all the British bands, Hermans Hermits, Gerry and the Pacemakers, Dave Clark Five, Dave Dee and so on  plus the Beach Boys and Four Seasons. The Shadows were the best instrumental group and backed Cliff Richard. Elvis was OK I suppose but not my cup of tea really. Also Dusty Springfield, The Drifters, Bob Dylan, Electric Light Orchestra, I could go on forever. Wonderful, magical days. Listen to Sergeant Pepper by the Beatles, that says it all.

There was one simply titled "Jesus" that came out around 1979-1980 that I liked.  I saw it when I was 13, and I thought it was awesome.

Shame on you chulapanama! We didn´t stink! The hippie era was pretty much as described above, but my main problem with my generation is that we (the old hippies/flower children) are the leaders of today, and the world is in a MESS! We really let our children down, not to mention our grandchildren. Hey guys, is it too late to do something constructive? What about using this wonderful medium (Internet) to start a movement to bring the magic of the sixties back. I personally think that that period was the best in history! Especially the music: Scott Mackenzie, Arlo Guthrie, The Stones, Jimmie Hendrix, Barry Maguire, Bob Dylan, Janis Joplin, Fats Domino, Donovan, etc. They DON´T (CAN´T???) make music like that anymore!

I think Jesus was a rebel and totally cool.  He didn't like "religious" people, because they were self-righteous.  I think He was/is compassionate, loving, humorous, passionate, loyal, faithful, forgiving, and willing to die for all of us so that we could live forever.  And, of course, He did.  But, thank God the Father, He rose from the dead and now lives in us believers and intercedes for us with our Father in Heaven.  I think, also, that He was/is very understanding and empathetic towards what we have to go through in this world.  He knows what it's like to be tempted and to be persecuted for teaching the truth.  I think He is  a lot like we are, only sinless.  Peace.

I really do not feel Jesus would belong to any of our "organized religions". It was the religious people of his day who had him crucified , and he called them whitewashed tombs, and a brood of vipers .\n\nThe Assembly of God is probably the closest to what Jesus wanted for us to be , but we are not perfect by far .

Kind of hard to be a "christian" song with no words...... But, you should name it according to your inspiration for the song. What in the bible inspired you, besides Jesus? Did you have a personal experience? That's where you should start.

I think he was just a really cool spiritual dude (and probably a really good reiki master).  Spirituality is the  free will to find the path of God on your own.....not letting someone telling you how to find god via organized religion.  \nI think Jesus was the embodiement of getting in touch with God, by getting in touch with yourself.  That's why he didn't support organized religion.

Sure, hippies gotta rock - what else could they do?

There were a couple groups he performed with before The Faces (in '69) that contained future rock stars, one being Mick Fleetwood with "Shotgun Express" (in '66), but the most notable, was when he joined the "Jeff Beck Group" in '68.\n\nHis first hit, once he went solo, was Maggie May in '71. He was 26 years old at that time.

Far out question, Man...\nI am a hippie in disguise now. If I was to go back then I would be a hippie.... yeah man. I can dig it.

I believe they are. I guess it really depends on your faith and if you believe they will. Some great groups ( I like them and I taught the Youth Group at church for awhile) are Jars of Clay, Mercy Me, Michael W. Smith, and I'm sorry, but I can't remember the name of the other groups. Some of my favorite CD's are the "Wow Contemporary Christian" CD's. They have one for each year (since they've been produced), a platnium one (with platnium songs from various artitist) and then "Wow #1 hits". All the one's I've seen are double CD's. Hope this gives you an idea and is helpful. I'm including a link that will at least let you see some of the music (contemporary Christian) and try a few out.
