It may or may not be. Jerry Garcia played non-hippy music with Ornette Coleman and David Grisman, but he was a hippy from the start, and maintained the hippy appearance and attitude his whole life. And yes, Dylan was a "folkie" at his core. Johnny Cash was a country artist from the start. People can switch musical styles, but hippies generally follow a hippy code which dictates their attitude and appearance as well. I say, once a hippy ALWAYS a hippy. I am proud that I never became one.

But regardless, whether you consider Mickey hart a hippy or not, his music has little to nothing to do with poly-pop. Can you at least agree with that?

As much as you hippies would like it to be, this forum is not a hippy forum. It is dedicated to the poly-pop phenonenom known as "tiki", which is a product of the pre-hippy era. Why is this so hard for hippies to understand this concept? I know you want to spead your agenda, which is to make everyone a trust fund, djembe playing hippy...but Les Baxter was never any of those things.

I get that there are many hippies that are attracted to tikis and many hippies that live on Maui, but let's not confuse Hawaiian style with "tiki". That's been all but proven on this forum.
