Title: Are the goos still hippies?
Post by jmanhall1 on Oct 17^th, 2005, 10:39pm

Okay, i'm a hippie and i can kinda spot one when i see one.

I know they were doing punk music with First Release though SSCW, but ABNG didn't really have a punk rock feel, expecaly "Flat Top". I think "Flat top" has a real hippie feel to it. And John was sporting the long hair.

I know Robby is definaly still a hippie and i was never sure if Mike was or not. But do you guys still think John is?

I'm talking about like a modern day hippie, not like a 70s hippie.

This is really just a joke question.

i think the long hair was more of the fashion then a "hippie" thing. i dont think robby is a hippie at all either. and mike...that isn't even a question. he is the most non hippie i've ever seen!

You would be suprised how many hippies go to my school. You don't have to have lived in the 70s to like The Greateful Dead.

I just thought maybe they were since Robby and John are so invald with charities and stuff, but i guess you don't have to be a hippie to be invald.

LOL ! � jmanhall1, you're going to have to educate me...what exactly qualifies one as a "modern day hippie"?

When I grew up in the 80s, I felt like I should have been a teenager in the 60s because the hippie life seemed so cool. �But then, I matured and realized the hippe culture was basically really dirty people living in communes whose lives revolved around drugs :P

I don't think the goos were ever true hippies...they're too young!

I think Johnny and Robbie are more Punk than hippie. More rebelious than hippie-laid-back. I see them wearing more black clothing than tie-dye...don't you? Mike? Well, I think he borders on down-right preppy/conservative/frat boy! All hot regardless.

Although I wrestle with hippie-liberal-tendencies, I am a the total antithesis of a hippie. SUV, Married, Two teens, Suburban planned community, Stay-at-home Mom, French Manicure....Johnny's dream MILF. I have an inner hippie just screaming to come out, but I think it's like a folk-song not grateful dead type hippie. David Gray, Pete Yorn, Martin Sexton, "I like music dude, not noise" hippie. :afro:

What the? How did this crazy random thread get going? These boys need to get this CD out before all our brains turn to mush. LOL!

I was watching I Love the 80's one time and John and Robby were commenting in it and they said they never really liked hippies.

Im pretty sure that the long hair comes from the rocker side of things rather than "hippies"

Someone who finds a high in music (Pink Floyd, The Doors, etc.) , not drugs.

I just always thought "Flat Top" was a hippie type song.

That's cool ! There is alot of great "hippie" music out there...as far as Flat Top, yeah it's got a little hippie vibe. I remember reading somewhere John was inspired to write it because it bothered him that mass media tries to label Generation Xers as lazy, good for nothing, etc. It's a great song, one of my favorites :)
