The sunshine, Grace Slick, drum circles, the Grateful Dead, an honest wish to commune with all the members of this earth, and living with my parents and sisters in the middle of the woods. The drugs helped somewhat.
once u are a hippie,4 ever u are a hippie...it wont last.my mum and dad are like me..so i ve been living in that way since I was born...so there always will be hippies :]:]:] lots of sunny smiles Nadia keep on smilin everyday
Who really impacted your life to mold you into a hippy? It started in 7th grade where i just wanted to look different, it was proberly cannabis that opened my eyes! How do your friends treat you, and who do you hang around with? its different most people accept who i am, all sorts of people Do you think it'll last? hard to say but hopefully yes
Well, i newer was a hippie. When i was 14teen i start interesting a hippies culture and life. Very impact my The Beatles, but now i listening Pink Floyd. My friends tolerate me. I was in love a hippie girl, very very sweet and voluptuous. She left me, but i still love her Now i without beutiful her and alone, but always in my mind is Summer of love. P.S. sorry for my poor English language, i never in school teach English
Well... the same guy that largely molded the last generation into a hippie. Timothy Leary. Really, if he hasn't effect your 'hippie molding' process, then you need to seek out some of his books. Furthermore Terence McKenna, he really sealed the deal for me.
Indeed, McKenna rocks! There wasn't really any one day or point in time where I could pin down the transition from "non-hippie" to "hippie" - it's just the way my personality developed. The drugs helped as well, I've opened a lot of the "doors of perception", some of which I'd rather stayed shut but oh well, most have been educational and/or entertaining (LSD was the high, datura the low. Total personality death/rebirth is NOT pleasant to undergo at the tender age of 15).
Indeed.. but the good-post-to-crap ratio was very very low, and personally I didn't like sifting through lots of "omg am i a hippy lololol" to find the decent stuff. I'd be happy to moderate it and be a ruthless crap-remover if it was brought back though
Who really impacted your life to mold you into a hippy?-my father raised me and my brother around 70s music, and ever since i was a kid, i took a liking to it. then i discovered his janis joplin tapes- hendrix, the dead, etc. i still love the 70s sound, but the 60s are what really grabbed me. so my dad nudged me in the right direction.LOL! How do your friends treat you, and who do you hang around with?-....my friends-REAL friends- treat me excellent......i hang around everyone, why talk to one type of person? thatd suck! Do you think it'll last?-what?-me being a hippie? YES. my friendships? hope so!LOL.
HEY PEOPLE OF THE WORLD JUST NEW TO THE HIP FORUMS BIGER LOVER OF THE BEATLES JIMI HENDRIXS ERIC CLAPTON AND THE WHO. HOPE I GET ALONG WITH U ALL AND MAKE PEACE AND LOVE TO THE WORLD
Well I have always had log hair. And then I started listening to the dead and then other older music. And me and my friends have always been the "losers" of or school though I'm more popular then my friends. My dad said I looked really good in a headband. So I thought things thorough. Now I were may headband and these wicked groovy shades pretty much all day. My friends are fine with it and don't care. and yes it will last. Peace
one main hip guy that has really inspired me was Jerry Garcia. Garcia inspires everyone in a way. he mainly inspired me by music then other things too.....and still is inspiring me...and everyone. my friends treat me well...the same as they ever did.i hang around with about every1 basically if yor cool with me im cool with you......when i say i hang around with everyone it doesnt nessiarly mean i ack and conform to them...but some of my best friends...they dress and are like me... and i think it will last its lasted for 3 years now and i think its pretty cool so yeah i definatly think it will last Peace
man, Jerry Garcia has definitely changed the way i look at music, for sure! growing up, it was always "jimmy page jimmy page"-don't get me wrong, jimmy page=AMAZING!-but as i got older and started truly loving the Grateful Dead, Garcia's guitar sound has just blown my mind. the way he can take a song and structure it just by playing in such a groovy way is really inspiring. BBD, it's so cool that Garcia has inspired you! the guy that inspired me is Bon Scott, lead singer of AC/DC-died in 1980. i love/admire/look up to/LOVELOVELOVE that man. lol.
my parents deffinetly, grew up listening to the dead, clapton, CCR, fleetwood mac... the goods! i get called a hippie everyday, but its the way its always been and im loved, so its all beautiful. i hang with anyone i get along with. its dug its way in so deeb its never gonna leave!
hmm who influenced me? I'd say it was originally probably my dad and his best friend.. Theyre around 50 now.. so they kind of caught the ass end of all the protests, etc in the late 60's... but I can remember when I was a little kid, like maybe 4 or 5, sitting in the kitchen with my dad and he held this little baggie of greenish stuff in front of me and let me smell it.. I obviously had no friggin clue what it was then but my dad was showing me pot then man! lol my dad has never held back his lifestyle or any secrets to me.. hes always been really truthful about shit and I think it gave me a very different outlook on life then alot of people I know.. nevermind kids my age I actually don't smoke much.. I think my dad being so open about it with me when I was younger kind of took the edge off of it lol so yeah def. my dad and his BFF Jimmy.. jimmy has more grateful dead ticket stubs than.. ANYONE! I swear that guy went to EVERY concert lol hmm my friends? I live in the middle of a ...smallish city.. its like a cozier version of boston.. and theres a really big arts college that is like around the corner from my highschool.. alot of my friends are pretty artsy but I def call "dirty hippie award" out of all of us.. lol they accept me most of the time and when they dont they just smile and laugh so Im ok with it will it last? definetly. being a hippie isnt something you choose.. I think... its just.. how a person is or isnt.. like you can't help if youre a total bitch. well you can to a degree but some people are just bitchy. same with hippies.. but nicer before I went to school I was always my dads little flower child then.. kids made fun of me in elementary school for being weird.. I hid myself for a while until 6th grade ish.. I tried be myself again when I got into middle school.. BIG MISTAKE. middle schoolers are the meanest group of children you will ever meet your entire life.. after 6th grade I went through this phase where I thought maybe my hippie days really were over.. I went wannabe goth for a while I was so unhappy.. then FINALLY when I got into highschool I decided "fuck it I am what I am and I cant deny it.. if people dont accept it its THEIR problem not mine" I embraced myself and here I am now: patchwork skirt I made with my mom, grateful dead tee, barefoot (of course ), and janis is singing out of my mp3 player I couldnt be happier. I might not be rich or completely successful when Im older but Im happy as a hippie and thats good enough for me. *sparkles*
It was the marijuana for me, and the beatles. I started smoking sophomore year and thats when I just felt so in peace with everything and everyone. I've grown and matured a lot since then and essentially my beliefs are the same. But marijuana really is what got me interested in the counter culture, and not living our lives by these imaginary guidelines that everyone feels so bound too.
Who changed my life and started my process of becoming a "hippy"?Jimi Hendrix,at the age of 10 or 11 I was introduced to him.I just kept listening and listening to his songs over and over again.Then Jimi Hendrix led me to the The Beatles then the Beatles led to Bob Marley and then Bob Marley led to "hippiedom".I learned alot about the world from this lifestyle.Like did you know that war dosn't solve anything.Their is so many promblems in this world and I want to to be one of the one's trying to solve them.Hippiedom will never end because deep inside everyone one of us is peace and it has been just waiting to come out. Peacefully, Chris
musically? Ive listened to the grateful dead with my dad since I was a little kid course I didnt know what ANY of the songs meant for YEARS lol
