Thread Name: BS: Is 60s Hippie Worshipping a Religion?
Subject: RE: BS: Is 60s Hippie Worshipping a Religion?
What a coup I've found another star who knows what I am talking about.Thanks Bobert for the meeting of minds I see that you are still flying the flag for Peace, Love and Unity. I am not a great admirer of Steve Earle but like the odd song i.e Justice in Ontario, but the selling of his song for advertising purposes does reiterate my earlier assertions against the so called standard bearers for the Hippie ideal to a degree.I bought the remixed version of "Double Fantasy" not so long ago and there is an interview on it, just before the late lamented Lennon was murdered, where he lays claim to the Yuppie movement and seems proud to do so. I am a Lennon worshipper but found myself being totally disgusted by his remarks and feeling cheated into believing in a man who sang about no possessions (but lived like a king) and Give Peace a Chance (but allegedly funded terrorist activity on a minor level).So, and I am sure Bruce will appreciate this, when I use sheep as a metaphor I do consider myself one to a point."Don't follow leaders, avoid the Pawking Meters".

Best Wishes

Sidewinder.
