Uschi Obermaier, 1960’s

“I just wanted to be free I didn’t want to be a rebel I just wanted to be free And do things I wanted to do Without anyone hindering me I wanted to live the experiences in my own skin. It wasn’t enough for me to be told what it was, I had to experience it down to my own bones, to make a judgment for what I liked and didn’t like”

– Uschi Obermaier
