Stillcrazy, Hey, you're around! Cool. And Thanks. You can't get much more "Flower Child" than Melanie.
Yes I'm here for a bit! Just fed the dogs, rabbits and fish, and have to feed humans in awhile! Yes I thought Melanie was the ultimate Flower Child. I saw her perform at Glastonbury Festival last summer and she did Candles in the Rain (in the rain!) and it sent chills up my spine. Back in the Daze people were always telling me I looked like her. Just put the Dead on cos I love that track.
John Mayalls Blues Breakers, Al Stewart, Fleetwood Mac, Tyrannasauras Rex! Man I wish I'd been there! You can see I've had practice at reading hippiefied writing!
Kenny, you silver-tongued charmer!!! (Blush!) I am a lifelong fan of Melanie, I think she is wonderful.
Judging from your profile shot, I can see the similarities. Only you look like a far more interesting and far more adventuresome person.
I can't find any good male Flower Child pictures. Use your imagination and just picture a flower in his hair. OK?
flower child noun (especially in the 1960s) a young person, especially a hippie, rejecting conventional society and advocating love, peace, and simple, idealistic values. Origin: 1965–70, Americanism ; from the conventional image of such people as carrying and distributing flowers
Flower Child??? On your right. My Lady from 1973 in the Haight-Ashbury, and my Son's mom, Tie Dye Rainbow Debbi. Did we say anything about flower's in your hair? What a trip to find this on line. the 40th Anniversary of the Summer of Love that was held in Golden Gate Park in San Francisco, California, on September 2, 2007.
It is amazing how many of the pictures that come up in a search that are obviously faked modern costumes of what somebody thinks are 60's flower children.... Most being on websites that want to sell you fake 60's garb...
I hear you. Lot's of "what somebody thinks are 60's flower children" Think again. And yet that's is what we are trying to convey, to others. What was REAL.
What amazing pictures you are both posting! Sometimes I feel homesick for a "time". As for a male flower child, I would think Donovan would fit the bill quite well. I couldn't find a good picture though.
Did you see the picture that I found of my Lady from back in the day? Although the picture is from 2007.

What a gorgeous picture! They look like they are having such a good time, I wish I could have been there for that gathering. Thanks for that, she has a lovely smile!
They do those every 10 years ending in "7" as in 196"7" Where will you be in 2017? Maybe there? In Golden Gate Park? We'll all meet there. OK? Tyr can you make it?
