What got you interested in Hippies?

i think i've always been interested in hippiedom, i was always the kid that would find a pair of granny glasses at the dollar store and put them on and flash a peace sign saying "look mom, i'm a hippie"

 

My mother (an artist) and My father (a musician) met at a Folk Music festival in my home town...there my dad bought her this beautiful,white, swirly, empire-waisted dress embroidered and beaded all over the bodice..which i still keep for sentimental reasons.. and he wrote her beautiful poetry..... they named me Crystal after a Fleetwood Mac song.. and my mom would sing while my dad played his guitar as I fell asleep to David Bowie, James Tayler, Van Morrison... all kinds of good tunes.. My folks eventually went their separate ways, but they instilled in me the ideals of peace and love that inspired them in they're youth..for which i am for ever grateful...

 

Why be interested in someone that just a person like everyone else?

 

the music and the way they/we treat eachother

 

I just fell in dont remember how but Ive always been like this. People think I was born in the wrong time or like reencarnated. iduno its just me

 

you werent born in the wrong time. The spirit goes on and on in space and time ... kinda like - there always were hippies, and there always will be.

 

true.

 

That was really quite beautiful, Josh...

 

Thanks.

 

No problem, hun!

Well first it was me playing guitar...Then I got into the music...Then some reefer...Then some psychedelics ...and now some clothes...

That's basically it in a nutshell.
