And Bosko's experiences - that is exactly what I'm talking about. But keep in mind, Bosko, those little old ladies were all silly little young lady hippies, you just can't tell now because they can't fit into their old bell bottom jeans anymore. And they're just jealous. They haven't sold any of their awful ceramic wares for years, no exaggeration.

How hard is this ceramic stuff anyway? It ain't rocket science. You -

1. Shape it
2. Bake it
3. Glaze it with some cool colors, and
4. Bake it again.

If it doesn't blow up, you got a mug.

Hey Lucas - I'm going to force you to listen to my two Hippie CDs next time we bump into each other. Count 'em, 160 minutes of solid Joanie Mitchell, Donovan, 5th Dimension, Peter Paul & Mary, Lovin' Spoonful, Melanie... cripes, you'll either become a hippie or have a complete nervous breakdown!

Huge Joni mitchell fan here. James Taylor too, but I don't really consider them "hippy". They are too exploratory, and too well versered in music theory to be Hippy. Most (if not all) hippy music I have encountered was played and performed by complete amatuer garage musicians. Except the Beatles. They actually had skill, though I don't like there sound at all.

Joni Mitchell had knowledge of jazz, and not just a passing knowledge. She was a huge fan of Mingus, and her albums are staffed with jazz fusion musicians like Jaco Pastorius.

5th dimension were more soul artists, IMHO.

The greatest thing I ever saw was Sha-na-na playing at woodstock. Totally out of thier element, and I am loving it!
