FREAKIN' OUT

.
HUNGRY FREAKS, DADDY

THERE WERE NO HIPPIES, BABY
ONLY FREAKS


You Were Either Cool, Or You Weren't

Anybody who called himself or herself a hippy back in the day was either joking or a narc. We were heads, stoners, freaks, or just plain cool. "Hippy" was one of those derogatory Time Magazine labels that tired old useless -ssh-les with no imagination and no clue used to slap on people who were younger, smarter and hipper than them. The same d-ckheads called the Beats "beatniks," and feminists "women's libbers." All they were really saying was that they were very very angry that they were missing all the fun, all their lives. And the music.

They were people like Pat Buchanan and Gordon Liddy. They hated everything and everybody, and they made a pretty good living at it. Of course, they weren't welcomed by decent people anywhere. They pretty much had to hang with -ssh-les like themselves. Nixon. Agnew. Reagan. Bush. We all knew what foul things they did to get where they were, which was nowhere. Things like labeling people, stirring up hatred and fear, dividing & conquering, ripping us all off. -ssh-les.

They missed the whole Revolution. The music, the art, the books, the films, the sex, the drugs, the gods & goddesses. They never played cops & robbers for real. Never explored the universe, inner or outer. Never rebelled or protested, never changed anything for the better. Never knew peace, love or understanding. And now it's too late for them.

Now they're old, bitter and alone. They're still on the tee-vee labeling people. But no one pays them any mind. Because they're not cool. And they never were, man. Peace, freaks.
