I would be the most redneck hippy you ever met. lololol.

Let's see. a house, 3 pistols, 2 rifles, a big ol pick em up truck, a car, 2 motorcycles and there is no way I can stand dirty clothes for more than a day or two unless I am down in the woods canoeing or some such. I don't think I would pass the hippy indoctrination exam.

I am well versed in zen though and I don't rally associate that with the hippies. I got into that through surfing and skiing, both very zenny sports.


The only thing most hippies and I have in common would be some musical choices and an afinity for good green weed. The biggest difference between me and hippies is I can afford to buy the music and the weed and I cannot stand to be idle too long, have to be doing something productive most of the time.

Sides, I am tooo young to be a hippy, I turned 18 in '73. The music I identify with from my first days of freedom is Bachman turner and such. harder stuff than most hippies would go for.

I am a freak, but I am not a hippy

I don't hate canadians either (well, maybe some of the gay french ones). I think Canadians are prtty cool for the most art and I am waiting for the day that they get full citizenship instead of just being one of our protectorates

Most of the hippies around here could prolly buy and sell both of us. Our second larges cash crop after lumber is marijuana.
Randy Bachman is a local boy.

Then they are no longer hippies, they are now entreprenaurs. The hippis give it away. lolol.


Funny thing back about 15 years ago I think. I was a dead concert and of course all the dead heads are there, hanging out, dancing around the whole bit. Well, we are in our seats and there is a "hippy" guy in the road in front of us and he is yakking with his girlfriend about getting a tshirt. She gets up to go get the shirt and wants money, he reaches into his wallet, pulls out a Visa platinum and hands it to her. It was at that point that I realized that hippydom had changed some

When I lived up in humboldt county, most of the pot growers wre ex bikers selling the pot to the hippies.

Hippydom didn't change. You never understood it.

"Then they are no longer hippies, they are now entreprenaurs."

Hippies were always entrepreneurs. I would argue they started the current cult of entrepreneuriarship (is this an actual word?). I for one, have always been an entrepreneur one way or another.

Like I said, I am not a hippy. The actual hippy movement was jsut a touch before my time. And yes, I realize it continues in the form of the Yippies and such. So, you are right, I probably did not understand them. To me they were part of the anti war movement on one hand and alternative life stylers on the other.

You are a little bit right on all of the above. And yes, you seem not to have understood it. Interesting the difference a few years make. In 1968 I was standing on the corner of Haight and Ashbury feeling like the king of the freeking world.
