Elsa and Yeti talk about Woodstock

_Elsa_

One day Elsa decides to take a walk through the park. Just up ahead she sees Yeti lounging on a park bench looking at something on his tablet. He must be playing Candy Crush! But then she hears some music so it’s definitely not his game.

“Hi Yeti, what are you doing?” asks Elsa. “Isn’t it a beautiful fall day today? The weather isn’t as hot as it was during the summer. It’s actually quite comfortable. What music are you listening to?”

Yeti looks up from his tablet and says hello. He tells her that he has no clue what he’s watching as he was doing a Google search and ended up at this video.

Elsa walks over to Yeti and looks at his tablet.

“Yeti, that is Woodstock!” exclaims Elsa. “I was in my early 20s when that happened. I was never into that kind of music. I heard there were a lot of hippies there.”

Yeti looks up at Elsa with a puzzled look on his face. What is a hippie? Elsa sits down next to him and puts her coffee down so that she can google what hippies were all about on her phone.

‘hippie, also spelled hippy, member, during the 1960s and 1970s, of a countercultural movement that rejected the mores of mainstream American life. The movement originated on college campuses in the United States, although it spread to other countries, including Canada and Britain. The name derived from “hip,” a term applied to the Beats of the 1950s, such as Allen Ginsberg and Jack Kerouac, who were generally considered to be the precursors of hippies. Although the movement arose in part as opposition to U.S. involvement in the Vietnam War (1955–75), hippies were often not directly engaged in politics, as opposed to their activist counterparts known as “Yippies” (Youth International Party).’ (Source)
