And further, to throw in my 2¢, after reading and somewhat paying attention these last few days to the discourse on hippies, I have come to the conclusion that Herr Powers may be describing what I would call squatters. SF is a hotbed of them, as well as AusTex, N.O.LA, Atl and many other urban centers. They even drift through B'ham here regularly and hang around the 5 pts neighborhood. The tenderloin is like ground zero for them.
I had thought (mistakenly) that his animosity was toward the birkenstock wearin' Phish lovin' potheads that are annoysome but harmless, but his more recent, accurate description sounds more like the panhandling, self-pissing,transient derelicts who set up drum circles in the park whilst eating 'shrooms and guzzling natty light that they panhandled the 2$ for.
Most folks I think of as hippies around my parts have jobs and can buy their own pot and acid.
