My mother & father met in Chicago coming over from Canada when they emigrated from Ireland.
That's where my family entered the US.
I have lot's of family still there
Was there twice personally, once when I was 7 when my mom took me on a Greyhound bus from NY (fucking torture :) ) & the 2nd time was around 20 years ago to visit some of my wife's art school friends & see a Monet exhibit.
I had the best cut of beef in my life in Lawry's (I had to ask a cop where to go to get some good beef :) )
Oh, and I definitely have a soft spot for some Chicago blues.
Muddy Waters?
Hell yea :)

Well just so the outcast doesn't feel too lonely, pop over to my new thread for a laugh from time to time, or set yer young fellow onto it if he's inclined to adventure as most young men are.

FPV Flying, Where gamers go to die, reality.

Hey James, you've created some of the best threads in the political section and you can do the same here, if you build it they will come, we can do more than whine and bitch in the political section and I'm branching out myself.
Build the best fucking music thread on RIU, there should be many interested, do some marketing on the popular threads, most people have no idea of all the content on the site. Threads can be used to share a hobby and that's how it all started anyway and it's the sites purpose, we can gather others with a similar interest and promote our hobbies and passions too.

I'm not too big a music fan, but I will visit and contribute, have an election night tune party! Plan events! Live stream from youtube into the fucking page and make a radio station! :D Wear a mask and set an example, besides if your avatar is anything to go by yer pretty ugly.:D

Just because someone has long hair, that does not make one a true Hippie.
I've known plenty of long haired scumbags.
Being a true Hippie is a matter of the heart, a belief in sharing love & happiness with everyone you encounter, no matter what the result is.
Long hair was a proud revolutionary banner at one point in time, now it is just a fashion statement.
For me in the 60's & 70's it meant being ostracized as a freak & made it harder to work/get a job but I couldn't/wouldn't sell out my convictions, so yea, I struggled by letting my freak flag fly, but there was no way out actually..
I cut my hair around 25 years ago because it is actually a pain in the ass too have in the summer & dry in the winter, so I said fuck it and shaved my head.
I was married and really didn't give a fuck about how I looked anymore, I just wanted comfort (age will do that to you :) )
Anyway, music is a major part of my soul so there is no way on God's Green Earth that my expressions thru music will ever be diminished
Yea, I'll still get my jam in, no matter what, but from now on it'll be my Song of the Moment :)

Here's one @Sir Napsalot should like, Medieval music, perhaps we can contract him to slay the evil King Clorox.

Since you are into cultural and historic topics, here is some material for posting and discussion, there are literally days worth of content posted on Youtube every hour 24/7. You could almost run a show on a thread there's so much on everything imaginable, a thread doing reviews of grow videos and lights etc, plus live streaming events. Pot is legal in many places and there is a ton of modern content, you help the creators with views and it's only a link through for the RIU sever, nothing is cluttering up their drives.

This was a search on the topic of the sixties. It's up to us to make RIU better, it's just a holding place for our content and creations.

For instance, what do you think of this POV, you lived it, the sixties never really died until Reagan, but got sleazier towards the end. It changed attitudes, fashion and culture though, it made its mark.

BTW: DRUGS happened to them, acid in particular...

Ah to be young naive and stupid, it was a special time! If you remembered much of it you really weren't there, as George said. Just the high points and there were many of those...

As can be plainly seen in the video above, stupid didn't start with Trump, we often look at the past through rose colored glasses, mostly because yer eyes were so red.
