What ever happened to the Hippies?

Mon Jul 13, 2009, 9:05 PM
  • Mood: Anger
  • Listening to: Mind Games, John Lennon
  • Reading: Wolf Battle and the Invisible World
  • Watching: wheels go 'round and 'round
  • Playing: Guitar
  • Eating: Farm fresh eggs
  • Drinking: Pure Rocky Mountain Spring H2O!!!
I grew up in the sixties. I was very young but I remember the Vietnam war protests and the whole "peace and love" movement. I remember seeing the Beatles arrive at Stapleton Airport in Denver. And I remember how John Lennon became leader in the move for world peace. And maybe I misread the whole thing, but I thought what it was really all about was that government needed to leave people the Hell alone. When John Lennon sang "Power To the People" I really don't think he had in mind a government that controlled banks, auto companies, all medical care... I don't think John would have been comfortable with a president that wants a civilian army, and seeks to expand the tentacles of control into every aspect of life.

I'm just sayin'

Power to the People.

....We the People...

Gimme Some Truth
by John Lennon

Im sick and tired of hearing things
From uptight, short-sighted, narrow-minded hypocritics
All I want is the truth
Just gimme some truth
Ive had enough of reading things
By neurotic, psychotic, pig-headed politicians
All I want is the truth
Just gimme some truth

No short-haired, yellow-bellied, son of tricky dicky
Is gonna mother hubbard soft soap me
With just a pocketful of hope
Money for dope
Money for rope

Im sick to death of seeing things
From tight-lipped, condescending, mamas little chauvinists
All I want is the truth
Just gimme some truth now

Ive had enough of watching scenes
Of schizophrenic, ego-centric, paranoiac, prima-donnas
All I want is the truth now
Just gimme some truth

No short-haired, yellow-bellied, son of tricky dicky
Is gonna mother hubbard soft soap me
With just a pocketful of soap
Its money for dope
Money for rope

Ah, Im sick and tired of hearing things
From uptight, short-sighted, narrow-minded hypocrites
All I want is the truth now
Just gimme some truth now

Ive had enough of reading things
By neurotic, psychotic, pig-headed politicians
All I want is the truth now
Just gimme some truth now

All I want is the truth now
Just gimme some truth now
All I want is the truth
Just gimme some truth
All I want is the truth
Just gimme some truth

Did you and Sunny get everything worked out?
:iconrainbou:
Sunny was wondering if she would be able to just give you prints of "Cowlick" and "Violin"?
Or would you only accept originals?

And she says she will try to make some lighter things and is really hoping you'd consider them when she does.
:iconjustinthymependragon:
If she would like to send me prints, I'll try to sell them. I need to know how much she wants for them. (A price I cannot go below) I'll be happy to look at lighter stuff. The tourists should start arriving in another month.

Okay. I'll let her know and find out how much she wants.

Should she just send prints and prices of things that she thinks might sell from now on, or would you like to see them first?
:iconjustinthymependragon:
For the time being, she should probably show them to me first. If it works out and market proves to be open to her work, then I'll let her know if it's no longer necessary.
