Recap Time!

This is so sad! This will be my last blog forever! Therefore, what I am going to do is a whole recap of the whole blog! Well I will start with the blog about the fun facts! These facts are cool facts and I had some of my friends tell my some of them. My friend told me about how they rebelled against their parents. In addition, my neighbor told me about how hippies got their names. Which half of these facts I would of never of thought of! Now I will talk about Woodstock! I know some people who went to Woodstock! Nevertheless, I know half the people who played their! Like Grateful Dead, Sha-Na-Na, Jimi Hendrix, Ten years after, Joe Crocker, Family Stone, The band, Blood, Sweat, and tears, Canned Heat, Mountain, Sweetwater and many more! But I think that it really would of been cool to be their and watch all those bands! But unfortunately, I wasn't born back then! Oh well, I will get over it. But Hippies Are cool! and if you don't believe me ask anyone Who wears any kind of peace sign on them, like me!( you can't see me now, but I'm wearing peace sign right now!) But I mean you have to have allot of courage to rebel against your parents and the man! However, that is what hippies were, so deal with it! Some of the quotes I found were cool, man! And I know most of those people, and you probably know some too! Like Led Zepplin, George Harrison, Cat Stevens, John Lennon, Beetles, and maybe some more! My favorite one was 'Go with the flow' because I say that allot! But I thought is was funny when I say South Park was infested with hippies! And I though it was going to be a good idea if I put that on my blog. Because Hippies are, on South Park and me, though it was funny and it involves my blog too! Now some for you people reading this probably do not know who Grateful dead, you need to hear them right now! Because they are sooooooooooo amazing! Well some people think that they stink, but I know that they probably rocked out at Woodstock. It is somewhat interesting to know that they started out as The Warlocks. They really do not sound like a warlock bands, only more of a Grateful Dead! In addition, it is really cool on how they spell Grateful Dead, because I would of never of though of it! Now it feels like I am rambling on something that you really do not care about. But if your still reading, thank you!!!!!! So I am going to talk about you tube now! Nevertheless, no just anything, but the ‘I like Turtles’ kid! Man, I wish I was their to see him mess up like that. Because I would of laugh my butt off! And you would of too! Well I hope you had fun with my blog and have a nice day! (That is another hippie saying, I just was too lazy to put it up!)

Sad Kitty wants comments!!!!!

Zombie Kid Likes Turtles

This Blog I get to write anything! so for this blog I wanted to do it on the I like turtles kid. So this kid had a face paint of a zombie and this news lady asked him a question. And all he says is 'I like turtles'! I mean that is the most randomest thing for someone to say! But later, he had another interview and this time, the lady asked him why he said I like turtles. Well this time he didn't say I like turtles, he explained why he said that. He sayed that a little bit away, he saw a reptile stand and said the first thing that came to his mind. later Jonathan, (the little boys name) said that he has 3 dogs, 4 cats, 2 birds, 2 hermitcrabs, a lizard, and a geako. but now his mom is going to buy him some turtles.

Grateful Dead

So this blog is a history about hippies. Well my blog has been all about hippie! So I really don't know what to write about! I know that sounds a little weird. Hey I know hat to write about! I'll write about Grateful Dead! Grateful Dead was one of the bands That played in Woodstock. I just listened to them on YouTube and they sound all right. I mean that I really wouldn't listen to them all the time, but There okay. Hey don't take my words for it, listen to them yourself. Grateful Dead started in 1965. They began their career as The Warlocks, a group formed in early 1964 from the remnants of a Palo Alto Jug Band called Mother McCree's Uptown Jug Champions.The Grateful Dead formed during the era when bands like the beatles and The rolling stones were dominating the airwaves. "The Beatles were why we turned from a jug band into a rock 'n' roll band," said Bob Weir. "What we saw them doing was impossibly attractive. I couldn't think of anything else more worth doing" Former folk-scene star Bob Dylan had recently put out a couple of records featuring electric instrumentation. Grateful Dead members have said that it was after attending a concert by the touring New york city band The lovin' spoonful  that they decided to "go electric" and look for a dirtier sound.

Hippies come to South Park!

This is the episode in south park with hippies!

Awsome Quotes!

Here are some of my favorite quotes that hippies have said!
Kerouac opened a million coffee bars and sold a million pairs of Levis to both sexes. Woodstock rises from his pages.
William S. Burroughs

The only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn, like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars and in the middle you see the blue centerlight pop and everybody goes "Awww!"
Jack Kerouac

You create your own reality.
Seth

Imagine no possesions, I wonder if you can, No need for greed or hunger, A brotherhood of man. Imagine all the people Sharing all the world.

Hippies ARE cool!

Hipies in my mind are a cool type of people who don't give a care in the world. I mean without hippies, Jimi hendrix wouldn't exist, tie die wouldn't bring joy to other people. Hippies are a insiration to many people.
Hippies sought to free themselves from societal restrictions, choose their own way, and find new meaning in life. One expression of hippie independence from societal norms was found in their standard of dress and grooming, which made hippies instantly recognizable to one another, and served as a visual symbol of their respect for individual rights. Through their appearance, hippies declared their willingness to question authority, and distanced themselves from the "straight" and "square" (i.e., conformist) segments of society.
At the same time, many thoughtful hippies distanced themselves from the very idea that the way a person dresses could be a reliable signal of who he was, especially after outright criminals, like Charles Manson, began to adopt hippie personas, and also after plainclothes policemen started to "dress like hippies" in order to harass legitimate members of the counter-culture. Frank Zappa admonished his audience that "we all wear a uniform": the San Francisco clown/hippie Wavy Gravy said in 1987 that he could still see fellow-feeling in the eyes of Market Street businessman who'd dressed conventionally to survive.

As in the beat movement preceding them, and the punk movement that followed soon after, hippie symbols and iconography were purposely borrowed from either "low" or "primitive" cultures, with hippie fashion reflecting a disorderly, often vagrant style. As with other adolescent, white middle-class movements, deviant behavior of the hippies involved challenging the prevailing gender differences of their time: both men and women in the hippie movement wore jeans and maintained long hair,^[68] and both genders wore sandals or went barefoot. Men often wore beards, while women wore little or no makeup, Hippies often chose brightly colored clothing and wore unusual styles, such as bell-bottom pants, vests, tie-dyed garments, dashikis, peasant blouses, and long, full skirts; non-Western inspired clothing with Native American, Asian, Indian, African and Latin American motifs were also popular. Much of hippie clothing was self-made in defiance of corporate culture, and hippies often purchased their clothes from flea markets and second-hand shops. Favored accessories for both men and women included Native American jewelry, head scarves, headbands and long beaded necklaces.^[37] Hippie homes, vehicles and other possessions were often decorated with psychedelic art.

Funny Hippie Facts!

Hippies first became popular in the 60's. Most of the hippies were kids and teens. Hippies were people who rebelled against their parents. Hippies are often associated with Woodstock, 60s, Summer of Love, Rainbow Gatherings, Grateful Dead, tie-dyed cloths, bell bottoms, peace signs and loving to party. The term hippie actually came from the word hipster and was often used to refer to the younger bohemian crowd. The hippies were best known as being involved in the 1960s counterculture movement. Hippies were on everybody's mind. My friends grandma and her brother went to school. they lived in New York. They found out that woodstock was coming the next day. so they bought tickets to go! But they got caught and were grounded for a very long time.The Yippies, who were seen as an offshoot of the hippie movements parodying as a political party, came to national attention during their celebration of the 1968 spring equinox, when some 3,000 of them took over Grand Centeral Station in New York — eventually resulting in 61 arrests. The Yippies, especially their leaders Abbie Hoffman and Jerry Ruben, became notorious for their theatrics, such as trying to levitate the Pentagon at the October 1967 war protest, and such slogans as "Rise up and abandon the creeping meatball!" Their stated intention to protest the 1968 Democratic National Convention in Chicago in August, including nominating their own candidate, "Lyndon Pigasus Pig" (an actual pig), was also widely publicized in the media at this time.
