Ever wonder where all the hippy-chicks went?
They're pretending to be Indians now. Pudgy middle-aged women hanging out at pow-wows, weaving "dream-catchers" with colored yarn and spouting incomprehensible phony spiritualism. They call themselves things like "Earth Mother Bear Spirit".
I liked 'em better when they were still young hippy chicks with feather earrings, singing back up for Skynyrd. Now they look like witches. Not Groovy. Not far out. Not solid.
I like to call it hippy psycho babble...
ReplyDeleteEver notice how close a "dream-catcher" looks to a frame used to stretch scalps?
ReplyDeleteTake a close look at the "colored yarn" next time you see one.
Oh...the...horror.

ReplyDeleteFunnily enough, I just received a not-very-funny e-mail forward asking that exact same question. Did you get it, and it inspired this post?
ReplyDeleteAccording to the e-mail, they are old women walking around naked in public. :-|
sad isn't it, they were a lot of fun

They were better young and nubile, didn't like their attitudes and beliefs then, they were so flaky. But then, never mind that is a peerverse thought
