  • Resumen

  • Following on from the Ascona Monte Verita commune episode, (Ep 18) we travel across the Atlantic to California, to see how German emigrant lebensreformers/naturmenschen (life reformers/nature men) some of them direct from Monte Verita in Ascona, Switzerland, heavily influenced the Nature Boys of California, and how that thread can be traced to the late 1960s flower power generation of hippies. We take a look at the charismatic hippies that were around LONG, LONG, before the late 1960s hippies. We go right back to their roots the late 19th century in Germany, and the early 1900s (at Monte Verita etc) then show how they directly connect to the LA Nature Boys who have never really gone away! There were nature boys (hippy men living wild in caves, trees, on the beaches etc) in California from around 1915ish onwards, possibly even before that. Among several facinating people we will take an interest is Eden Ahbez, a hippy musician, a spiritual man who rubbed shoulders with people like Nat King Cole (he wrote his massive hit...Nature Boy) and Brian Wilson, and he was revered by Paul McCartney, too. Give it a listen!
