Sqwawker's probably not a hippie. Most of the people I know that call themselves hippies are just ne'er-do-well white-bred trust fund kids that follow jam bands around and think it's groovy to see how many baths they can substitute with Patchouli. In reality they're usually one step away from Abercrombie and Fitch. The Birks are just part of their little uniform. They seem to like lots of little bags and scarves and things hanging off of them, too.

Very true BK. What's also funny is that they're usually the children of parents that weren't hippies during the hippy period.

Ah, the hippy period. At 43, I was on the tail end of the long, strange trip. I still remember the Summer of '69 or so when water beds hit the market.

Anyone remember the "Whole Earth Catalog"?

How's about Earth Shoes?

Hip huggers, ah youngin' we had hip huggers in the 70's (with tube tops!).
