Instead of Cyber space YouTube and Facebook and texting is the drug of drugs

Once it was hallucinogenics, speed, downers, experimental drugs and magic pills, transcendental meditation, love shacks and real acoustic psychedelic stuff happening

NOT this top 40 junk autotune songs on the corporate XM radio

But Real homegrown
acid rock Zeppelin and Cream and Hendrix and Jefferson Airplane and Woodstock and Grateful Dead and Alice in Chains

Instead of corporate office jobs,

it was all American industrial union manufacturing mills

And real flower people and real hippies and real stuff on the town square bulletin about counterculture and living in tepees and stuff

Today it's all about YouTube and Facebook likes and selfies and living with mommy and daddy at age 26, not teens venturing off into teepees in California communes

So Lame and square

I'm a rock kinda guy and today ain't rockn and Rollin at all.

Govt got too much power

Big corporations dictate everything

Everything is freakin systemized nothing homegrown we run our lives and

What happened to Govt stay out? Let us live how we wanna live? . Know when I'm saying? Let us rock n roll let us bootleg let us be the freakin United States of America and stop deciding for us what we want

I'm an old fashioned Haight Ashbury guru from the old lost streets
Peace out

Have to do things that don't mess up the brain cells.

Like I told my kids -- choose your addictions wisely. I let them play video games -- they would not want to mess up their scores by destroying brain cells.

I went to see the Eagles a few years back. Not real close or anything....$125 a ticket......they played a few songs when Glenn Fry decided he wanted to preach to us. The crowd cheered real loud (to drown him out) and Don Henley spoke up and said, "Come on, there are people out there tonight wondering where there next meal is coming from, listen to what he has to say".

The only thing I could think was, Yeah, and the two of you are only interested in selling tickets at $125 plus a pop.

But what happened to the psychedelic eastern religion Ravi Shankar tarot hippie beads with sitar and patchouli oil and hemp shop culture? With chanting nudists in tents and art graffiti and outdoor concerts with long hair and antiwar flower children of the revolution?

And the beautiful every day people just wanting a little R-E-S-P-E-C-T with the words of the prophets written on the subway walls....and the smoking sounds of the sergeant pepper lonely hearts club band on the misty mountain top in the the desert on a horse with no name among riders on the storm into this house we're born to see Indians scattered on dawn's hwy bleeding ghosts crowd the young child's fragile eggshell mind
