I'm not exactly a hippie. I'm not the flower power type of guy and I know that love is never free.  But I do love the ideals of the 60s.  That was probably the last generation that had any ideals that don't make me puke. From the 80...

I don't know. A lot of the hippie ideals I believe in, although I wouldn't say I am an actually hippie. Maybe a hippie at heart is what I am.

I get called a hippie alot, which is weird, because no one in my family was ever one. Huh...guess that makes me the odd one out. Whatever. I think I've always been attracted to people who were hippies, as I've discovered they're very...

I'm not really a hippie, even though I suppose I'm somewhat "bohemian" for lack of a better word. But I acquired a lot of my hippie mom's values, attitudes, and taste in music. My mom and all of her friends were Dead Heads. That band is...
