Was I insulted or complemented ?

[dtel]

I was searching on the computer for a filter for the tractor and listening to the satellite radio station " classic vinyl" and in walks one of our kids friends. He is 25-30 I guess and he ask me " well who's the Hippie around here ", I thought I heard wrong and asked what he had said, and I did hear correct the first time, so I answered I guess us ? [:|]

He said since your listening to that kind of music, I thought that was hippie music ! [] I didn't know what to say I have never been called a hippie, then he ask if I went to Woodstock [], I guess everyone my age that listens to hippie music had to be at Woodstock ! [] He then tells me his dad is also a hippie because he also listens to the same music.

I had no idea. What gave it away, the flowers and peace signs all over our VW van, the clothes and the joint or just the classic rock ?

So I guess I am a classic rock listening hippie ? could be worse

[Tarheel]

could be worse

Certianly could and I've been called worse. The dtels, hippies or not, are allright with me[Y]

[Boxx]

Might have been worse... he could have called you a "progressive."

[dtel]

Well thanks I thought about it a minute and yes it could have been worse.

I forgot he said Old hippie music, I guess i can't deny the old part either.

[BigStewMan]

i consider it a compliment. now get off the forum and get back to tie-dying those t-shirts.

[toddvj]

Complemented would mean that you were matched up with something. So I guess your hippie music must complement your hippie lifestye []

[sunburnwilly]

It was definitely the joint . I mean who smokes joints anymore besides hippies ?

[BigStewMan]

It was definitely the joint . I mean who smokes joints anymore besides hippies ?

if he bogarts that joint--definitely a hippie. another good indication is if he has bongs on the mantle as knick-knacks.

[Audible Nectar]

If it was said to me, it would have been a complement. Hippie, liberal, progressive....it all fits. One beef though: Tye-dyes aren't so much the fashion anymore (unless it's an exceptional work)....it's more about batik now.

[Groomlakearea51]

Yah kid, I guess I'm just an old hippie, pinko, liberal, left wing, commie-symp, troublemaker!!! Yassiree!! And while you're passin' through kid, howza' 'bout grabbin' me another beer from the icebox, as my Agent Orange is acting up and I may lose it all over you if I have to get up!!! [6]

[Bill H.]

Could be worse...........he could of accused you of selling out to "Da Man"....................Chill Dude.

My kids must be Hippie Kids.............cause they like the same music and Artists also...................

[Ironsave]

Congrats...... I have been called much worse; trust me.

Must be my music...... and the Heavy Metal shirts I wear on occasion.......

[Saturn5]

Apparently everything from the late 60's was "hippie."

But I guess you can't really expect todays young adults to be able to differentiate between The Who, The Greatful Dead and Arlo Guthrie. It's all hippie music. [8-)]

(yes, I know The Who played at Woodstock. So did Sha-Na-Na.)

[seti]

You can't fight it anymore man. Just let the hair grow and start growing those funny smelling plants on the back 40..... Hippie []

[RockOn4Klipsch]

Are we young hippies if we listen to the old stuff.

[dtel]

Maby it was the dog that gave him that idea ?

DTEL,

I would have said: Son, while I am temporarily intriqued by the intelectual wasteland that you maintane between your stapes, I wish for you to take note of the fact that more people of your generation listen to the music of my generation, then those of my generation listen to the inadequate offerings of your generation, or any future generations will listen to what has been produced so far by your generation. Futhermore, the baby boomers are responsible for many of the inovations that you think yourself so up to date to own or understand how to use, and what great feat of intelectual endeavor was it again that you stated you personaly endowed mankind again with?

I have got to remember that ! [Y]

[skonopa]

.it's more about batik now.

I've been called a hippie myself (maybe it is the hair, or the batik...?)
