Sunset Strip curfew riots
- Sunset Strip curfew riots
The Sunset Strip curfew riots, also known as the "hippie riots," were a series of clashes that took place between police and young people on the Sunset Strip in Hollywood, California, beginning in the mid-1960s and continuing through the early 1970s.
One such riot in the summer of 1966 provided the basis for the teen exploitation film, "Riot on Sunset Strip" — as well as for the Buffalo Springfield song, "For What It's Worth", which is often mistakenly labelled an antiwar protest song, and The Monkees song, "Daily Nightly", written by Michael Nesmith.
