Hi: my real name is Al. I reckon being of of one's own mind, critical of societal norms, and being sick of the hypocrisy and humbuggery of authority ought to qualify me as “hip”. I'm also an idealist and a bit of a revolutionary, though I've never owned a Che Guevara T-shirt. However, I'm 63, so I ought to stop kicking against the pricks, shouldn't I? I appear simply to be a grumpy old man...
