Fuck yeah! Let's stop cutting our hair and wearing makeup and deodorant! Let's all get naked and do drugs and rock out to awesome music! Also, stop the war and stuff.

Ha, that about sums it up.


Uhh someone once said something like...in order to have a revolution, you can't just dress like one... or something like that. I believe it was Banksy who said this. :thumbsup:

[MyMARYJANE]

hell yea! aha

[BizzleLuvin]

Yeah really. The reason you don't see too many hippies around anymore is because they mostly got sucked up into the system they spent so much time protesting. Their revolution was mainly a superficial one. They had good theories about why the establishment needed to be overthrown but they didn't have a real plan for actually doing that.

My mom was a hippie..

now she's a preschool teacher.

random.

I think eventually the world starts to repeat itself, what's stopping that from happening now?

[VoidLivesOn]

oh well

[Oneironaut]

I know I went a little overboard with the stereotype there. My parents are actually hippies and they are pretty hygienic people. But they, like most other (ex-)hippies I've met, have gotten suckered into the system. They hate the war but they don't do anything about it. They hate the weed laws but they just try to look like non-stoners. Their idea of social change is voting for Democrats.

Haha I haven't had a hair cut in probably 16 months.

In order for there to be another rebellious era, there needs to be another conformity era. Though all the non-conformity and whatnot is still conformity, there needs to be another decade like the 1950's. China will have as big an economy as the United States' in 2020 and seeing as they're communists, that might lead to another rebellious era.

They're not really communists. China is well on the road to Western-style market capitalism, but they still throw in some socialistic rhetoric for May Day speeches and such. You'd have to be crazy to think the Chinese government actually wants communism (a classless, stateless society).

The idea of "Hippie" is really vague these days. Back in the 1960's, a hippie was someone who "spawned" from the Beat scene. Eventually the hippie scene "sold out", and became part of mass popular culture--or rather, people decided to capitalize on it. Everybody was a hippie, because it looked cool or it was the cool thing to do. Or maybe some were "on the bus" because they'd taken alot of LSD and is now developing schizophrenia. I think the Beatles inspired the generation alot, especially John Lennon, in terms of political thought, as well as a source for inspiration. People still to this very day , are inspired by John Lennon's ideal word view of peace. John Lennon and the Beatles inspired so many to do what many others have failed to do--to <i>think</i> about life. They encouraged love. I believe that the general "ideals" of the 1960's hippie counterculture have roots in the acid culture, popular music (especially the San Francisco scene , Jefferson Airplane etc.) Haight-Ashburry was the epicenter for the hippie movement. The hippie scene came about because of certain conditions. You have to think of it in terms of history--what was happening at this moment in time to cause this to happen? Obviously there was world war 2 , which had ended some 15 years before the 60's began. Post-war life was rather conservative, and this was growing tiresome for the youth. And that's when it began to change, because people <i>grew tired</i> of what was happening in the world.

So something might not come about that is quite like the 1960's, but eventually people are bound to get sick of what is happening and change. The 1960's were all about change.:thumbsup: :thumbsup:

Being a hippie is a state of mind its not how you look its how you think.
Take it from a 51yr old hippie like me.

Where did the times go! everything went to rap and how you dress and look! it really sucks when you think about it.

[Oneironaut]

Really. We've gone from "make love not war" to "I'ma blast a cap in yo ass nigga". What happened?

Todd is great!!!!! go to eighteenminutes.com
I was backstage with him at the Hardlystrictlybluegrass festival with him in San Francisco. We just walked around Golden Gate park tokin up for while before he went on stage. His wife is a fantastic artist(painter). I am proud that he and Elvis(his manager) call me when they come to the city.
It's nice to finally see someone here that knows who Todd is. He lives in Nashville., but his second home is in Santa Cruz california. His arthritis is getting pretty bad. He has to wrap his hand in ice before going on stage now to get the swelling down. We are doing our best to hire him at KPIG.
