Behind every teenage anti-establishment fad you can find a number of fat guys in suits getting rich.

Which I have no problem with.

I remember the sixties with the tune in turn on and drop out attitude running through the country. Every little anti society hippie wore the badges of the era and the anti establishment movement.

Bell bottom jeans were the norm and the Levi's company made quiite a killing as did the various other companies keeping the little tykes in the proper hippie uniform of the day.

Little guys like barbers tended to lose out while the very corporations the hippies claimed to hate got richer.

The music of the era was another important part of the era and the musicians of the time kept the movement supplied both entertainent and anthems for the movement... for a price.

Musicians and record companies waxed fat and there were a lot of kids out there with $1000/ year record habits. It was a lot of money when you consider that a family income of $10,000 a year was considered big money.

Of course the record companies were certainly willing to feed the anti-establishment movement with albums simply because they knew they had a good market to feed.

Right now we have an 'Occupy Wall Street' movement out there bellyaching about the cruelties and unfairness of the system.

Keep your eyes open and watch what happens.

Somewhere along the line you'll see fat guys in suits getting rich off of the movement.
