Can you still be a hippy if your (dirty) hair doesn't hang half-way down your back any more?

I remember hitchhiking one time, gettiing picked up by a pickup truck, I jump in the bed and there's another hitchhiker there already - 'old guy', probably in his late 50s, grey hair, bald on top, but with Ben Franklin-long hair to his shoulders. He wore a headband, too. I thought to myself, 'man do I want to look like that in 40 years? - no, I better die young!'

Thankfully, I've always aged slowly and have all of my hair.
I used to refer to myself as having Dick Clark Disease.

I never expected to live past 30 anyway.
So, growing old was never a concern of mine.
As I gradually look less and less like a teenager (and more like "The Dude", from "The Big Lebowski"), I look at guys like Lemmy Kilmister, Willie Nelson, or George Carlin and it doesn't look so bad... if you do it right.
If I age as well as them or Patrick Stewart I'd consider that a minor accomplishment.

Hippie is what's inside your head, not what's on it.

I just got my long hair trimmed up a bit and my bass says I look now like a Latin American crooner.

The stylist was so cute I guess I wasn't paying attention.

Good to know what your bass thinks, but what does your boss think?

Do you ever get bad vibes from your...vibes?

Well Jimmy - you probably thought that was a typo.

On the rare occasions I can't make lyrics into a song, I down grade them to a poem. Like this:

I talk to inanimate objects.
Not because I think their opinions really matter
or what I'm hearing is real.

I talk to inanimate objects.
Because they are elements of my world
With things to say and their own perspectives.

Refrigerators have their secrets and the stove could tell you volumes
Ignore the microwave, it likes to lie…and make up stories.
The computer blathers endlessly
The toaster - just sits there and sighs…

I think I'll go have a chat with my bass now...

Therefore we should NEVER have school vouchers.

It's not like all the other history they taught at any public schools was actually accurate or anything. let's start with Columbus and work our way forward with correcting revisionist history. For, if it were truthful, there wouldn't be a columbus day.. and if there was, it would be a day of shame and apologies.
