Your daily dose of Hippie culture |
Hippie artifact of the dayCalifornia
"California" from Blue by Joni Mitchell, 1971 on youtube. Joni is a painter. (I am a painter, I live in a box of paints) She happened to also have a natural talent for music. We listened to this album over and over. Great dulcimer draws you in, and then you hear some intelligent, witty, thoughtful and personal storytelling. Moving, and fun. It's only in the last few years that I learned I'll even kiss the Sunset pig referred to a cop on the Sunset Strip. I always figured it was a cultural or literary reference that was over my head. And I met a redneck on a Grecian isle refers to Carey, from another great song on this album. |
Genuine Hippie Sez:Retire the Empire The conversation has changed. Marijuana is getting legalized, and that's nice. We don't have Medicare For All yet, but the fact we can finally talk seriously about it now is great progress. I'm ready to start talking about bringing the troops home. All the troops. Home. Empire is over. But that's still crazy talk. And it will be only until it isn't. |
