Here's a question for you? Are you a hippie if you are walking down a main city street, carrying four bags of groceries, a Dr. Pepper, have a guitar strapped to your back, and someone stops and hollers, "Hey buddy, ya need a ride?" To which you respond, "Naw, just got a ways to go." Then from the seat of his large 4X4 he says, "Ya shore, now?" and you respond, "Really, it's not far," and proceed on. :whistling This just happened to me. I was returning from guitar lessons, had run by the grocery to pick up some needed items, and was returning home.
well fedora, thats sounds pretty hippieish to me! how about some dude (in the passenger seat) hangin out the drivers window yelling "the 70's are over man"...lol, it happend to me!
oh man im the only hippie in my town i think apart from my family and i get comments all the time one guty shouted over " het hunny dont you know theyve invented soap" i mean come on
Fedora, Your story took me way back to when, hippie folk, traveled around with a guitar straped to their back carrying their trappins' in a sack.. at least it was an offerin' of peacefull conduct and not sticks and stones.. well.. a nice 'stone' would be cool.
I bet we all have good stories like these. Here's one of mine. Setting: Gas station parking lot... me ... two Alabama rednecks.... Redneck #1 says, "Saw all that hair and thought you were a girl." I ran my fingers thru my beard and said to redneck#2, "Your friend must know some hairy women." Always thought that "Hippie is as Hippie does" Yeah, that'd be good. Hi (or high) SH, hope you & your's are doing well - XOXO Peace, poor_old_dad
I don't get it either, sounds more like you met a pervert that liked middle aged men with bags of food he could take after he had his way with you, you were like 8 yrs old when we started to fade away, so I would not worry about some one thinking you are a hippy today. I have a question are their two old hippy pages I thought it was the one in the members group under old hippies member group, and now I find this one, confused now. Peace
Oh wait, I found another one the Back to the Gaden page, that seems to be about old hippies also, are there more ? Peace
Imo asking a guy who's loaded down and on foot if he needs a ride seems like a hippy thing to do. It doesn't make a person a hippy if they are on foot, taking guitar lessons and carrying groceries. Climbing into a car with a stranger is always risky, no harm in deciding to walk. Silverhippy, yes.
I think I get what you said, we would help anyone in need, it was his question on if that made him a hippy that through me, but you are right it may have been a hippy type asking if he needed a ride, or it could have been a perv. By the way how have you been ? Peace
Straight as an arrow, but thanks for asking. I've been bouncing around the different forums putting in my twisted two cents worth. 5 more months and counting till I am a free man once again. Hope all is well with you. ~Peace
haha! some of these stories made me laugh. it's so nice.. i'm 16 and have comments thrown at me all the time. "go hug a tree" "it's a conspiracy maaaaan" *sarcastic voice* and of course "take a shower, man" i will walk onto the school bus after school and i can hear a couple kids screaming out 'HIIIPPPPPIIEEE' as i skip down the bus to find a sit with flowers in my hair and my bindi "what the hell is that thing on your head?!" "a bindi " "what? are you indian?" "no" "then, why do you wear it?" "why don't you wear it?" "because i'm no indian" "who said bindi's are for indian head's only?.. i like them " "stupid hippie" ohhh i love it! haha. peaaaaceee and love and stillness and music and just HUGS TO YOU ALL!
Sometime in 1990 me and my friend walked into a resturant in south Georgia. The place wasn't really full but there where quite a few people eating. The girl at the door told us they where closed.
