I became an old white hippie in my 20’s when I started listening to Neil Young and the Grateful Dead. Haven’t looked back since.

I was 16. “Ohio”, by Crosby, Stills, Nash, and Young became our theme song. 🎵 “Gotta get down to it, soldiers are cutting us down. Should have been gone long ago. What if you knew her and found her dead on the ground? How can you run when you know?”

I started attending political science or history classes when i was 3 and then got to second hand smoke weed with the students later while they were discussing stuff. My mom didn’t want me in child care facilities, so I’ve been blessed with 32 smoking babysitters lol.

BS. My older cousins were hippies, but they taught me that making money on the backs of others and endless feeding of the MIC would lead us to hell. Too many gave up too soon. You can do it. But, it's more than music.
