What to do with dirty hippy bands?

[mr natural]

I dunno. Minor keys, monotonous, unintelligible vocals, depressing dark roads and a decent guitar player? I say buy them much bigger amps and rename them the Doors.

How do you know they were hippies? I haven't seen a real hippie since the 1960s, and never in Tennessee.

 

[P Thought]

I'm too young to be a real hippy, but I always wanted to be one. Was their hair long and grey, and you mistook that for dirt? Where have all your flowers gone?

 

[Charlie Bernstein]

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

Catch and release? I'll drink to that. Here's mud in your eye!

(Hey, Wardpike, the Blue Dog and Silver Bell are on their way - got 'em before the August sale ended. Speaker report will follow soon!)

Hippy,........nowadays, it's a feature of the obese.

 

[Bill]

Wow, thankfully I haven't heard that term since about 1975. Not everyone likes the same music, nor the same dress code or lifestyle, but we try to get along here. And once in a while we even learn to appreciate new things. Coming here, I've learned to appreciate country music by people in sparkly Nudie suits, rap by people in low hanging pants and gold teeth, blues by guys with no teeth, military bands in sharp dress uniforms and swords, celtic by men wearing what look like skirts. We all wear something while playing something.

I live with a couple of hippies and "dirty hippy" is a term of endearment. I love 'em but seriously, they are kinda dirty.

 

[cdc3jj]

The term dirty here isn't literal. They were not covered in mud. Their hair was greasy but that the only indication of cleanliness, or the lack of that I saw. The irony of depressing hippie music was one of the things that led me to recommend these provisions. For the record, I have no problems with hippies or their hippie ways.

Here's a south park take on the effort to regulate and control the hippie issues facing the world today.

Jim Morrison was definitely not a hippie. Remember his line, "Trade in your flowers for a handful of dimes"? He wasn't altogether fond of the hippie movement.

Personally, I never call these people "dirty hippies," no matter how unclean they might be. I prefer to use the umbrella phrase "damn hippies."

 

[OM 21]

Why's everybody always pickin on me?

Dirty-Hippy since 1985.

I think the line is "trade in you hours for a handful of dimes". (at least that's always how I heard it)

In any case you're right....the lines just before that one "you walk across the floor with a flower in your hand....telling me no one understands"

Warner Robins? Hippies? On the Air Force base?

 

[SimpleOne]

Love 'em, feed 'em and send 'em on their way knowing they have done and seen things we may never fully understand. imho

The baby boomers older than I had some extraordinary freedoms to experiment, in their lives, and it took some guts to try to do things differently.

Must have been a hell of a lot of fun to come of age with so many others at the same time. We all soon found out everything ages and changes and sometimes ends or becomes unrecognizable in time.

God bless the hippies and may they live in piece (um...PEACE!)! Doug (all opinion)
