You know you're an aging hippie when...

morning toilet softer, more often than not.

 

when your back is all ruined and your only 30 and omg whyyyy and whaaaaat is this going to be like in 20 yeears time.

 

Yeah actually with my inflammation disease in my back I'm actually a great candidate for medical weed.

 

Are you kidding me the younger generation loves vinyl now. Guitar Center, Best Buy etc. all have album racks now.

That's true, my physical copies of music I buy these days are all vinyl if possible. I have a player, but I was collecting them without one too.

 

It's funny they actually have USB turntables now so that you can plug them into your computer.

Mine has a digital option like that, it's not an expensive unit by any means but it works well. I accidentally broke the top cover though. Now one of my fav. rap artists is bringing stuff out on cassette. That's cool too. The garage stereo I have has a tape player. Probably filled with dust though.

 

I have one of these bought it new years ago !

 

When your kids don't want you to be so open about about the the stories and lessons you tell the grandkids...

 

I'm an old hippie who gave up his vinyl years ago. I collect CDs now. At yard sales. Cheap.

 

Nothing is " Far Out" anymore.

 

A few months after coming back to the States I discovered these used CD places and I have quite the music collection now---but I hate compilations---give me the oirignal albums! I still can't find a CD of a Jimi Hendrix album I have on 8 track tape (which I am unable to play now)----it had two versions of Machine Gun on it (one of which is my favorite where a nearby prison PA system bled onto the amps creating an incredible Session for that song). There is a ZZ tops album that is the same. I ordered a Blue Cheer album through Barne's & Noble---it was listed at their store, I paid for it, it never came, they said it had to be ordered from Germany----that was 10 years ago and I am still waiting (last word is they can no longer find the order or proof that I paid...)

Though I do dig the fact that they don't warp, there is no needle to wear them down, and they are harder to scratch...

 

When only 15 or 20 minutes after bragging about how everyone would steal the book, Steal This Book, you complain about how bad crime has gotten in this country!

 

When a local theatre company asks the community for suggestions of plays the community would like to see, you always give the same one-------HAIR! (...Yeah, they never listen to you--so now you add the exclamation point!)

 

You're told that psychedelicize is not a word.
