You said, “Peace, brutha”, not peace out. I never heard gut wadding before. The police were the “fuzz” or “pigs”. If you agreed to something, you said, “I’m hip!” When you wanted to talk to somebody about something important, you said, “yeah, let’s rap, man.” Women were “chicks” and in the late 70s they were “foxy”. Things you liked were “a turn on”. If a foxy chick was turning you on, you would say, “sock it to me, baby!”. Clothes were “threads”. “Sister” was a good female friend. Anything that blew your mind in a good way was “freaky”. Put it all together and say “man” a lot and you’ll be cool in no time; bruthas and sistahs will wanna rap at your pad, man.

Correction. in the late sixties, the hippie haydays or golden years, a dude was any male. It was not a pagorative term but one of respect. Just ask The Dude (Luboski).

all of y’alls comments do NOT help the projects that people are working on so you might as well and not post them.

Darlene, I remember reading this so long ago – where is my comment? There’s lot of them here. It was very entertaining. When I think of hippies I think of the show “Mod Squad”. I was too young to experience this.

What’s also really groovy is that we have a retro-fashions shop
here in Hamilton, Montana, and they have plenty great stuff
(especially some colorful psychedelic paisley scarves)
that’s totally far-out.
Among other things, this is a totally groovy site.
If there’s any way for me to post some of my trippy artwork
in here, that would be far-out.
It might drive the squares nuts, but who cares?
We do our own thing, and this site is definitely
the biggest happening since the Be-In’s, Love-In’s,
the Monterey Pop Festival, and Woodstock.
Let’s bring back the glory days of the hippie Be-In’s.
Turn-Off the old square Rush Limbaugh and
Tune-In to the totally hip Jimi Hendrix,
and re-live the “Purple Haze” experience.
Psychedelia Forever!
~Peace~

The music of the 60’s is totally groovy.
I dig the gassy tunes of The Jefferson Airplane,
The Electric Prunes, The Blues Magoos,
The Cowsills, The Who, The Beatles, Friend & Lover,
The Buffalo Springfield, Donovan, and much more.
So “Reach Out In The Darkness”, ’cause
“All You Need Is Love.
And the trippy psychedelic art is the happening.
I may be 50, but I dig the wild fashions, art, and music.
And even today, I design some of my own music posters
in 60’s psychedelic style, sport my long, mop-top hair,
and some wild, colorful fashions, and perform covers of
The Seeds, The Buffalo Springfield, Donovan, THe ByRDS,
The Youngbloods, just to name a few,
at local gigs and other music events.
It’s soooooooooooooo groovy, baby.
And when the squares try to get in the way,
we’ll just do what we do naturally…
~Turn On, Tune In, Drop Out~
~Peace~
