Myths of the Golden Era -- Exploded!

[jamespowers]

That's what a friend of mine just told me about some arts and crafts fair in Madison.

He said "You wouldn't have liked it, too many hippies and weirdos. Largest group of freaks I've ever seen." lol

Yes but at least you aren't near the nexus out there. I keep exporting them though. They'll get there.

 

[AtomicEraTom]

Don't send 'em here! Just send yourself, it'll be easier!

Too cold there. Maybe the hippies will freeze.

You know, homes here do have furnaces, typically.

Long Hair Hippies

Funny, all the long hairs around my parts are either into Country & Western, or are retired army enlisted men who joined during Vietnam. All but one I Know ride Harley's and are ultra conservative. Go figure!

Myth: There were no "hippies" in the Era.

Eden "Nature Boy" Ahbez (lower left) with some of his followers, c. 1948.

Even the word "hippie" predates the sixties -- radio raconteur Jean Shepherd frequently used it in the late fifties to refer to the sort of Greenwich Village characters more often known as "beatniks."

The pic doesn't show. Here's one that does.

Wow, don't we all wish our pincurls came out like that!

 

[John in Covina]

They are really screaming/crying because:
a) somebody stole their weed.
b) they are being forced to shave and shower (with soap and hot water).
c) they really really need attention.
d) no one is listening to them.
e) the camera is rolling.
f) no one cares.

Do have a feeling that they are emotionally about 4-6 years old? (It's all about me and how i feel about these trees. You should be crying too if you were really serious about trees.)

Trees die - everythng dies. You can't have new with out some of the old making room for it. Perhaps they'd like to make a home out of mud or consider a nomadic exhistance. Even the organically grown vegan meal you ate lived and then perished to support you a human being, but if you feel that human beings are nature's greatest mistake?

Wait, wait, wait. He said he wasn't asking anybody for anything. That is certainly no hippie.

 

[AtomicEraTom]

I'm also reminded of this song:

lol

Wait, wait, wait. He said he wasn't asking anybody for anything. That is certainly no hippie.

One of my favorite lines from a song, ever, came from that song.
"A poor girl wants to marry and a rich girl wants to flirt. A rich man goes to college and a poor man goes to work."

Not hippie homes.

You know, they don't live much around here, outside the big cities, that is.

Am I hearing a political dog whistle in this thread? Do I have to call Lizzie in here to tap tap tap on the virtual floor?

James just has an obsession. We're used to it.
