I went to a farmer's market on Saturday, and the main music was a Peruvian guy playing pan pipes with enough reverb to make you think he was on top of Machu Picchu, playing ABBA covers over a backing tape. You have a lot to answer for, Fernando...

There was a great South Park episode where the Department of Homeland Security was going around putting all the Peruvian pan flute bands in detention camps...

Can't we just wash them so we can all get along?

hippie (or hippy) is a pretty stereotypical term these days, and dirty is pejorative under most all circumstances. what you're describing doesn't sound too hip. if you wanna slag their music, fine, but what's with the name-calling?

Well, I wouldn't exactly say that you need "celebrate" them, but everybody deserves a chance at least. The one thing that pisses me off the most on youtube is when someone takes a chance and puts their self out there musically for all to see, and then gets roundly criticized, cursed and worse.. Personally, I give about everybody 5 stars for just having the boldness to share their song or their instrument.

In the words of Johnny Rotten - "Call all hippies boring old farts.... and set fire to them!"

I assumed dirty hippy was redundant. And I write that as someone who owned a poncho. A really poncho, not a Sears poncho. Made from dog hair, it was.

man, 15 more posts and nary a chuckle at this great zappa reference?!

good to have you here, btw, bigdaddy (you might know me as mr. beaumont)


personally, i don't see how were relating a bunch of depressing music to "hippies." seems to be an oxymoron.

They all looked to be well over the 80 hill and could only play at one tempo, but they didn't offend the sensibilities.

The second group was a singer/songwriter dirty hippy band.

You used too much Brylcreem. Use Vitalis next time, and avoid the greasy kid stuff.



Oh - and your ducktail's messed up Cletus.

there are good and bad bands of all genres, being dirty hippies had nothing to do with the fact that they sucked

C'mon, Mr. Woodman. You're not still a dirty hippie, are you?

 

[mistermullens]

I wish there were more hippies.
