Looks like my kind of guy. Hippie lookin' dude, sorta Jerry Garcia like. And not that old either. May he rest in peace.

8. Thats cool You are lucky. I am too young and all I caught was a

wisp of the last embers of the 60's as a small kid. I was full on into punk rock though.(pogo/mosh) as well as real early hip hop, both of which couldn't hold a candle to hippie culture and all the awesome rock and folk music that went down. There is nothing like being part of a undergroundish, counterculture/subculture/social movement to stir the soul.

9. I'm younger still - I just raided my Mom's records and began a lifelong

fascination with that era!
