This thread is redundant. Being a 'hippy' is being free, and being whatever the hell you want to be. There's no rules.
Well, lots of us make HORRIBLE mistakes in life. He must have been suffering from a particularly bad bout of uh-hipness. But I think he tried hard to make up for that one..... I don't suppose it's particularly hip to kill yourself either...
Actually, Hendrix was an avid supporter of anti-communism and I expect he didn't regret joining the army at all.
I think its pretty "unhippie" to categorize what is and what isnt. I mean when everything has to fall into a certain mold, then thats just mundane and boring. If hippie was actually classified into something it would be just have fun and be peaceful.
It's true, part of being a hippie is tolerance and acceptance of others and their differences. But we're only human and there are certain things we still frown upon. The traits I listed earlier are common to a lot of hippies and I don't approve of them. But I have faith in people's ability to grow and change.
So wait... who ever said that Hendrix was a hippie? He was a musician and a drug user... I mean, I think he's amazing and I'm a huge fan of his music, but I never considered him a hippie. On a side note... Hendrix and I share the same birthday, and it's coming up in a few weeks. -Mike
There is a non-American obsession in the Anglican world against redundancy. Actually, by your own admission you are stating a contradiction. If no rules exist, "There's no rules," (which, by the way, is ungrammatical since the predicative complement doesn't match the verb in number) then how can you say that something is redundant? Redundancy, after all, is a rule. And who's to say that something redundant ISN'T hippie?
Okay, can you explain the rule of redundancy to me? By the way, are you so petty as to look over my grammer? I type how I speak.
