Well, I guess, by having had a few flowers painted on my face at 14-15 years old. And wearing torn, tattered, patched and sewn levies, beads and anklet in the day. plus having run across some older than me 'hippies' singing folk songs in 68 or so. I guess i could be found guilty, but as I was to young, only guilty of emulating or fitting the fashion in the day. moreover to young to actually understand the meaning of many verse except thinking rather, everything had to do with LSD verses writings of true story. 'Lucy in the sky' about John's child painting, to me was a LSD trip, of which I'd been far to scared of to dare try.. Alice's brownies, and or song, never realizing it was about the book, 'Alice in wonderland', moreover glazed over with the topic of the day, drugs.. So much verse that in my minds eye, to young or ignorant to know wasn't just a trip, but story, talk story, with deeper meaning than 'just being high'. Guilty i was, of ignorance verses being one of them..
I never took to Janis till well after she was gone, Jimmy to, as well with Morrison, Zeppelin was my neighborhoods favorite band, but not necessarily mine. Beatles didn't Ring with me with exception of a few top ten hits. To young, to dumb to ignorant, to be a hippie, but a fashion of the time..
Besides, surfing was in me dreams, so be it the hippies, I'd rather be at the beach, ha. There was nothing like the early sixties, driving down Beach Blvd, to Huntington beach, beach boys screaming out the radio, Beatles or the like, in me grandmothers 1957 Chevy convertible to go body surfing all day.. Was nothing like that, not for me..
I don-know beach, maybe 300, perhaps as much as 500, hard to count but surly not to many, moreover just enough..
Was just a few miles past Pahoa, "follow the signs" at "The Shire" as we discovered it in a small article a week or two before, in the Puna news.
And yeah, what cat said, ha.. tried to leave them out, but they was blah.. However on the positive note, true to the day, they added today's emulation, sorrowful as they were.. However, banjo guy took his cue near our camp, and with his "where in the heck did this guy warp from" style, drown out that band when they seemed to be unable to carry a beat. jazz, reggie, modern beat-nic or whatever they were playing, They added some type or modernization to the hippie thing.
