New Group hop in! "Hippies"

[mushroompizza]

I made a new group today and wondered if anyone wanted to join? We are Hippies and we are here to discuss hippie culture, politics, lifestyle, and maybe some music! I also need help defining what exactly are "Hippie Politics", so hop in if you want to discuss! Join the "Hippies" today!

(I didn't know where else to post this :o).

Interesting pizza out your way. Anyway even though I don't subscribe to the pacifist end of the resistance spectrum, my wife considers me a hippy, and she is one. Essentially hippiedom was love peace and happiness combined with anti-draft/militarism, some anti-capitalism [remember jerry rubin became a stockbroker, for humanities sake!], anti-authoritarian, whilst being pro-environment, pro-sharing/community, pro dissent and pro consuming shitloads of recreational chemicals. Hardly a coherent philosophy but surprisingly resistant to neo-liberalism. Seriously though, there was a strong strain of Maoism floating about as well as anarchist tendencies.

Don't wanna chill, don't wanna sit
Don't wanna hear no hippy shit
Don't tell me I've closed in my mind
Don't wanna groove, don't wanna dig
Don't wanna spend the day naked
Don't like my music country fried
He's got a tye dyed Rancid shirt
Wears his birkenstocks to work
Is he a jerk? No! Just confused
Jeff don't wear regular shoes
Fat Mike, I gotta let you know
It's not the tunes, it's their live show
And all the people you get to meet
Plenty of good vibes and decent drugs
Stinky people give you hugs
Walk around in your bare feet
He's got a tye dyed Rancid shirt
Wears his birkenstocks to work
Is he a jerk? No! Just confused
Jeff don't wear regular shoes
Shoes, shoes, shoes, shoes
Jeff don't wear regular shoes

Right oh, never trust a hippy it is!

I married one so that particular precept had to get the shove as well as my singular freedom.:laugh:

I haven't hugged a tree or talked to the flowers....maybe that's why the harvest was so ordinary:crying:..so I haven't completely sold out. :laugh:

Besides I'm converting said hippy into a raving red ratbag. she even goes to demo's now:grin:

Truth be told it's probably to stop me from disgracing myself in public....again.:o

Cheers
