Were you a "hippie" back in the day? Are you an "old hippie" now? Are you just a hybrid hippie now.?

He may never had made it into Med School anyway. As you said "His parents had hopes of him becoming a doctor." He might have been a very happy optician. Hope so.

I was a hippie wannabe. I was way too young to be one and have never even met a real, live hippie. There were no hippies in the small backwater town I grew up in. We were always a step behind what was going on in the rest of the world.

Though I thought becoming a hippie and living in San Francisco would be a dream come true~I never understood what they were really about. By the time I was old enough to become one, the attraction of that lifestyle had passed on.

In hindsight, I'm thankful that I wasn't able to fulfill those silly, childish fantasies. I had enough baggage in my life as things stood.

The military cured a lot of 'wanta be' hippies.

I never miss an opportunity to mention Harry Chapin, obviously that is not his picture on post 19. Harry missed the hippy era by a few years.
Harry was interested in music, folk songs that told a story. He had trouble finding them
so he wrote his own.
He was killed in an auto accident while still a young man.
I really miss his song writing ability and his singing.
He is the only musician I ever paid money to see.

Hippies-Naw!
