In my defense, Shirley..I was born timid. I am a chicken, a sissy and at that time I was a hard working young married mother. If I had been single, I wouldn't have driven all that way from Ohio to listen to music. I was way too serious and way too tight and way too afraid.

I thought of hippies as people who tried to avoid serving in the military and who used drugs. I drank beer. I didn't smoke pot.

There is the other definition of hippie as a person who was gentle and kind and loved music.

What do the readers think as their definition of hippie????

I did not wish to insult you or anyone.

We all grow up with ideas and they may be wrong.
