94 eh? Must be something to those hippy herbs...

I should live to be 150 then.

I should live to be 150 then.

I haven't been a hippy for 40 years.....

How I lived through those times is the 9th wonder of the world...

 

[Everskyward]

I have always been a hippy in spirit even if I didn't manage it so much in practice. Liked Pete Seeger too.

 

[Tom-D]

I haven't been a hippy for 40 years.....

How I lived through those times is the 9th wonder of the world...

I remember, but don't remember much. I stayed drunk most of the time.

An American icon.

I haven't been a hippy for 40 years.....

They are the Democrats that love Obama & Hillary.

Just like Peter,Paul and Mary, you had to separate the musician from their politics and then you could enjoy the performance.
Pete was a legendary folk singer and the world less for his passing.
As for his communist roots, oh well...
