Anyone here a Flower Child?

[HeatlessBBQ]

i know this may be a very vague question but this may be cool...

anyone here a true Flower Child?

a true flower child is someone who was conceived at and during Woodstock. August 1969.

a secondary flower child is someone who is the offspring of two hippies but still consider themselves Flower Children even though his/her parents didn't have sex in the summer of '69.

I just so happen to be best friends with one and I love being around him and his family.
The stories they have, the music we listen to, the food we eat, the laughs we share....

ahhhhh.
i love old Heads

Anybody with the will and heart is a Flower Child. A date is but a mere conclusion of the past... he'll I was conceived in the 80's. But wear the heart of a Lizard King on my sleeve

I thought "Flower child" was just another slang term to describe hippies back in the 60's... An if you were born in the summer of 69' by the time you would be old enough to enjoy being a "hippie" the movement would have already died down a fair amount as the Vietnam war which really started such a powerful movement and social trend ended in 73'. My mom was a "flower child" in this sense... she's seen Iron Butterfly, Led Zepplin, Jimi Hendrix, Jefferson Airplane, Credence Clearwater Revival and Janis Joplin. She wore a black wrist bracelet at her graduation to symbolize the need to end the Vietnam war. She also ate the famous "peace pills" with her boyfriend's friend which supposedly contained Phencyclidine (PCP). She told me they were in the back of a VW bus (hitchhiking to NY for Stock) when her BF's friend that took them started saying "I see god on the hill" repeatedly and that's all he said for his entire trip while laying down in the corner of the bus. She said her acid was also called "Orange Sunshine" it may not have been the real orange sunshine but she said her friends would take a maximum of 2 hits and be gone for at least a day. She flipped her lid the first time I told her I was tripping on acid and said it was 3 hits .

My pops told me about his first (and I believe, only) acid trip back in the day. Buddy of his gave him some windowpane (what I believe to be geltabs, nowadays) at a bar one night. He flipped his shit and was begging his buddies to take him to the hospital, but they wouldn't. Shitty friends, IMO. Either way, it's safe to assume that the L from '60-'75 were exponentially stronger than that of today's L.

And Swag - Love your sig. HST was quite the lively spirit. Great mind, great guy.

And here's a little HST love:



That was the fatal flaw in Tim Leary’s trip; he crashed around America selling consciousness expansion. Without ever giving a thought to the grim, meat-hook realities that were lying in wait for all those people who took him seriously. All those pathetically eager acid freaks who thought they could buy peace and understanding for 3 bucks a hit. But their loss, and failure, is ours too. What Leary took down with him was the central illusion of a whole lifestyle that he helped create. A generation of permanent cripples, failed seekers, who never understood the essential old mystic fallacy of the acid culture. The desperate assumption, that somebody, or at least some force, is tending the light at the end of the tunnel.

Yeah I really only new Thompson for Fear and Loathing but after watching "Gonzo" I realized he had accomplished so much more for society than simply writing the famous novel. I love listening to his interview on the 9/11 attacks (not for the tragic event that happened of course, I just shared his views on it completely)
