Hippies

[Jayson]

Never had any use for hippies, then or now.
And what the hell is up with all these old men with pony tails? Get a hair cut.

One good thing about getting old . Us older guys have many decades of music to choose from. I'm born and raised in the country.

A good friend of mine has always called me a Long Haired Country Boy! Still got the hair to!

 

[kenv1950]

I had hair about 20 yrs. ago seems it all fell out

 

[BillMasen]

I used to sing Teenage Revolution by T Rex and Teenage Rampage by the Sweet, My Generation by the WHO and Schools out by Alice Cooper.

Now I sing " Yesterday when I was young by " Glenn Campbell and "When we were young" by Bucks Fizz.

I am a Baby Boomer, so yes, I am well aware of the 60's. I never really bought into the Hippy Movement. I didn't think the Establishment was that bad. I had a good life. We never really wanted for anything. I didn't see the Hippies espousing anything that was an improvement. It is easy to criticize. Come up with a viable solution. Then I will listen.

IMHO pot was grossly overrated. It didn't do anything for me, so why take the risk. I never understood that. Still don't.

I'm definitely surrounded by straights!
Tried to be normal once- worst 5 minutes of my life.

Here, "straight" means heterosexual. So is this your "coming out" announcement big Paul?

 

[lonewolf]

in the UK, to a big hairy biker "straight" is a normal citizen.

Not a hippy fan never have been. I've seen the trash that was left behind and despised the Vietnam protest movement that developed for very personal reasons. It's safe to say my hatred ran deep in the not so old days.

 

[lonewolf]

"hippy" is a pretty loose term to the uninitiated.
I'm talking about people who are into foraging and growing their own food, not the "traveler" type as they are called here that leave rubbish and cack along the roadside and in the hedges, I have no more respect for that type than you have.

and when they lined up and spit on our service men returning from Nam. Oh, remember what jane fonda did ? Most people who think their hippies don't know the history

 

[Maverick]

Of course I remember what fonda did in hanoi

 

[GeorgiaPeachie]

I was a young kid in the 60's. Hit the teen years in the 70's. Lot of very cool bands back then.

70s music was absolutely the Best!!!

She will always be Hanoi Jane to me. I have never watched another movie she was in, and would be happy to see her convicted for treason. She is still a traitor.

 

[Mountain trapper]

you sound like one sad straight.

Thanks. I take that as a compliment. Except I'm far from "sad".

 

[lonewolf]

it sounds sad to me, respectfully.

My Wife has been amateur student of the wild west days in particularly one specific family, she was ecstatic when I took her to a place not overly far. She has been placing flowers at the grave every July 18th, oh, by the way, it's your brother

I quite liked hippies, but could never eat a whole one though

Same here. Will not tolerate her on anything playing in my home to this day. Was a big Jazzercise workout nut until Hanoi jane got into it. I changed over to jogging and lifting.
