Further ramblings of a mad ole' hippy

[bikerfaerie]

On my way to work yesterday, i was wandering to the further bus stop that costs me less and gives me a bit more exersise, listening to music on my little musical memory sticky thing. The morning's seclection was the Songs of Leonard Cohen and on comes a song called the Sisters of Mercy. Hmm, thinks me, i wonder if that gothic band they keep going

Oh, the hardship! I'll try to be brave ;o)

the original gothics, had no time for hippies

On the contrary I had lots of different genre of friends, punks, skinheads, mods rockers, hippies, rockabillies, I even had some normal friends.........................but not many ;-)

Normal friends, hm, don't remember any of those.

Strange that someone was friends with both skinheads and rockers/hippies, the skinheads went through a phase of beating up my freinds. Was a scary time.

It was probably because I grew up with a lot of them before the onset of puberty and the dividing into sub cultures, so we got on relatively well.

However they probably fought anyone that they didn't grow up with.

Guess they would leave you alone if they knew you. It wasn't fought with though, they used to roam around in gangs and beat up any long haired bloke (and possibly girls) that they found on their own.

I remember the time a group tried an assalt on the peace gardens, where we all used to hang out, and fled when they got quite a lot of people running towards them. Life was probably much more interesting before computers and games things.
