You are right Keith about those damn hippies! Who needed em! I figure they didn't get as far north as you guys because it was just to cold to lite one up! Plus there is no grass in Canada just ice.

Sammy, most of those damn hippies were goin to Canada to get outta the draft. Cold was better than Vietnam. I remember how Ford most likly lost the election by pardoning the draft restisters/dodgers (depending on how you saw it), and then almost none of them came back.
Keith, your kinda right, although the term hippie was/is used a lot like the word liberal, homo, fag, the N word. Most of the time around here, even if you were part of the Sunday choir, only cut grass, and never smoked it,but your hair was a little longer that conformed to community standards, you were a fu kin hippie.
Please revisit 2 lane black top. James Taylor would have qualifyed as a gearhead hippie. Although "the girl' would have been a good time hippie chick.
