And even if they do, they won't play them with any sort of rythem). Sometimes you can even see the hippies banging away on their Djembes "en masse", )like down at the huntington pier). But keep in mind, to be a proper Djembe-hippy, you must also have a beautific smile on your face while flailing away at the drum, with eyes cast up to the heavens. "Bob marley" Rasta T-Shirt. Without it, you cannot possibly call yourself a hippy in good standing. "trust fund". You cannot have done any real work in your life. "Hippy smirk". This is what most of the members of the band "phish" have on their faces at all times. And yes, you guessed it: it's because they have "trust funds". To answer the second part of your question, stoners are clearly cooler. You see, stoners might also be skaters, and that's always considered cool. But, growing tofu on a collective in the hills above Berkley, california is not as cool as being a skater. (Even if your Hippy girlfriend is kind of hot, resembling Jessica Biel in a "Good Lord, you are cute but I wish you would take a bath" kind of way....) [ Edited by: lucas vigor 2009-12-20 21:48 ]
