Punks are pissed-off hippies. They're hippies with a backbone.

I can't believe Nike is using that.

Do you remember when Tonka used Iggy Pop's 'Real Wild Child' for a goddamn toy truck commercial? Or how about Ronnie using 'Born In The USA' for his campaign theme? 'Born down in a dead man's town. The first hit I took was when I hit the ground.' Yup, sure sound like the America I want to vote for.

Hippy music=music that, if you are outside a venue where a hippy band is playing, you will be surrounded by hippies

I mean, like any other genre of music it has it's gray areas, but I think that's the best way to describe it.

But specifically, I was talking aboot the grateful dead.

Ohter hippy stuff...Phish, String Cheese Incident, mostly jam bands.

That covers 85% of all shows in Oregon!!

85% of Oregon gigs!! Haha!! too true.

My favorite unabashadly hippy album ever is Allman Brothers - "Live at the Filmore East."

With 20 minute improvised jams and classic version of their best songs, you can practically smell the grass through your headphones.

What a thoroughly bizarre thread.....

Quite a shameful update....

I've even purchased a Dead album. Oh my. Live in Europe 72. For shame.

I don't think I'll ever get into the 40 minute jam tracks, but these guys are damn good musicians. Especially the bass player. F'ing fantastic.

Feel free to laugh at me.

Favorite tracks:

He's Gone
Wharf Rat
Mr. Charlie
Tennessee Jed

There is no shame in that!


(says the girl who didnt listen to hippy music until she turned 30 and is STILL almost exclusively listening to it 7 years later...)

Is it worse if you force other people to listen?

I've used both Tom Petty and Bob Dylan in my college ESL classes.

I wouldn't really consider Tom Petty or Bob Dylan hippy music.

Oh, and for the record, this is the song that set me on that slippery slope:

Chris: stop already with the misspelling.

It is spelled hippie, not "hippy".

Well, how can we combine the best elements of hippy and hippie?

It can be done. I've met more than a few hippy hippies in my time.
