If i grew up in the 1970's i would be a hippy.
 

Right now being a hippy is just gay. But in the 1970's i would be, no doubt. Just thought i let everyone know. lol

yeah. that's true.

if you grew up in the 1970's you would be very old

disco's dead dude.

id be a slut that always smoked weed and dropped acid.

If I grew up in the 70's I'd have more notches

Hippies are from the 60's. The whole hippie thing was dead by 1973.

I was being serious btw. Peace loving and weed smoking, im totally for that! :thumbsup

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

disco sucks balls!!!!

the hippy thing was at its height 1969 so you would of had to be born in the fifties.

no real hippies are still cool

:pimp :1orglaugh :pimp

Hug a tree today!

Since I was born in the 50s and did have long hair in the late 60s (as well as inbibing in some really good sugar cubes and mushrooms) I guess I was a hippy :) But all I got to say is I wish free love never stopped - it was awesome!

You were actually a hippy? hahaha sweet. :thumbsup

I used to spend my summers on Haight-Ashbury selling the Berkeley Barb and Haight-Ashbury Free Press to the tourists that drove up and down the Haight checking out the hippies.

Saw lots of free concerts at the bandshell in Golden Gate Park. It was a great time . . . . except for that damn war hanging over our heads.

the 70s show ended :-(

music of the 70's are cool.:thumbsup

I grew up in the 70's. Basically I ate, slept, and breathed hockey. Road hockey, taking shots at the net in the basement, heading over to the rink for a skate, league games, practices, and watching NHL on the tube.

We used to get up at 4 am and lug our equipment bags over to the school in -30 weather to catch a ride over to some far-off arena to play an hour-long game. Nowadays my nephews get chaufeured to their games, to school, everywhere.

Times have sure changed.

What about free love? To me that would be the best part.

If you grew up in the 70's that means you were a kid. Us kids weren't exactly old enough to be partaking of any of that "free love" you're all flapping about. :1orglaugh

The 70's took me from grade 1 to grade 11. I graduated in '81. Smoked my first J in '82 come to think of it.

Good thing there was still a few good years of free love in the early 80's. :D

It was. But again, as CD stated, if you did not grow up until the 70's you were probably just coming of age in time for AIDS.

Truthfully, I was embarrassed for my generation. There we were, rattling on about non-conformity and all the rest, when in reality we wore the same clothes; professed the same beliefs and values; and even had to use the same slang and speech mannerisms as each other. And you were expected to take it all seriously, even though you knew full well that come the first post-college job interview, short hair and suits would magically appear again.

The music and sex were great. But the rest was bullsh*t.

So what happens if you're gay AND a hippie? I no longer look like one (except for my large collection of t-shirts with radical slogans, pictures of Gandhi and that sort of thing) but I do still wear Earth Shoes nearly all the time and probably hold a lot of hippie beliefs... and I came of age (my teens anyway) in the early 1970s.

And a lot of the major hippie types of the 60s are now members of the "establishment" ... stock brokers, etc... so whatever happened in the 60s didn't seem to stick for all that long.

Since I was in DC, I spent most of my time in Georgetown - although the free concerts at the universities were hot as well as during the moratoriums they always had great bands - from Hendrix to the Amboy Dukes and Jefferson Airplane but laying out at the Washington Monument at night and fucking your brains out was a trip :)

I agree about the conformity jayeff - but at least we had balls - from picking up teargas cannisters and throwing them back at the cops to shutting down DC on May Day, at least we got off our asses and did something about a few of the "issues" of the day - even if maybe it didnt have the full effect we wanted - it sure seemed to
Of course I still got to go in the military anyway but at least I felt like we werent apathetic and "ME oriented" like todays generations - looking back I wish some of my contemperaries had instilled some of those ideals in their kids so todays kids would be doing something in society instead of just playing the sheep they are :(
