Hey all, I figure I should introduce myself. My name's Jake, I've always been into hipper sort of things. I'm still a teen, if anyone's curious. I'm infatuated with the Beat scene (you know, Ginsberg and Corso and the like) as well as folk music (authentic as well as 60's stuff). I've grown up with hippiedom in a sense as my parents were hippies or at least "freaks" in their younger days. Like my dad, I'm a Deadhead and I'm beginning to get into Phish. I'm big on jazz, too. I have a keen interest in various paths of spirituality, I'll certainly contribute to some discussions some time. well, I hope we'll get to know each other... in a sense, I feel we already have. -Jake
Hello there Jake & Welcome to the forums. Glad ya found us. The dead are gonna tour again this summer, I understand. Hope you find some fun here. Peaceful thoughts your way..... Farmout
Another teen. Sweet. I actually haven't studied the Beat scene/movement as much as I'd like to. Maybe I'll have to get you to clue me in on all of the key Beat stuff. I am a bit of a Dead-Head though. So we've got that in common. So that's pretty cool. And I'm also really interested in spirituality and religion. So that's also something. Looks like maybe we'll end up crossing paths some time or another. So, adios, and I suppose maybe I'll talk to you soon.
Welcome Jake - Hope you enjoy the forum. You should find lots of ppl that enjoy the same things you do. I am a liberal, bleeding heart, socialist, pinko, flower child, hippie. Hope we can relate to each other - Love, Peace, Music and empathy cross generational lines. Glad your here!! Love and Peace - Dudley:grouphug: .
young deadheads are always welcome-keep the scene alive-and the beats are brilliant, glad you've already discovered them
