Hippy chicks in bell bottoms means something a whole lot different to me these days, Walt... my hippys have widened so much I now need those bell bottoms to be at the bell tops!! Not sure I look quite so chic no more! Ahhh... but the scent... it never dies, does it... nor the memories it conjures... We call them loon pants over here... for obvious reasons, perhaps! Great write! TY Kate xx

You are so ADORABLE! I am so happy somethang can still get ya high! Be happy my Darlin Bro, you so deserve it! LOVE YA! Sissy

Patchouli....Ah yes

It's also a great bug repellent - even for old geezers!

a wondeful write full of memory evoking visuals

Walt,

Is Patchouli pot?? If so, you took me back to the sixties...but I was innocent...was only 10 years old when Woodstock went down! LOL But I remember the music...love it. :) Well done, my friend.

(((HUGS))) and love, Karla.

NOOOOOO, I LEAD THE ANTI BELL BOTTOM LEAGUE....

Never heard of Patchouli must be a regional shrub or scent.

Oh My, I love Patchouli, we have incense on our fireplace in an Indian Chief Pottery stand, I must have it in the house and SAgE!
I love this poem Walt, and I still love my "MOD" small knee dresses! NOt exactly mini, but colorful swirly swirls! :)
Ahhh, YOU said NEiL YOUNG, you could of said anyoneeeeee - even the doors, and you said Newil YOUNG... Ahhhh... JIMI! Rules!
ENJOY! you patchouli and let the memories lingerrrrrrrr!
YOU deserve it!
Warmly, Warrior Gypsy Lady Sheeeoox

I was born April 1960, so I caught just a light whiff of the fun, but I remember the COLORS, HATS, Smiles and my color Purple all around! and the music, I never got tired of it! NEVER Will! Thank you for the walk down memory lane Babe! :)

Those were part of my immortal years and being a newspaper woman and after thenpaper went to bed...we partied with the bell bottoms and the ty dyed dresses and shirts.Good music in those days and music that is still played today. I wonder how long some of the music played today will be around? Doobie a good Doobie.
Love,
Susan

Oh I just loved my bell bottoms way back then...but oh boy would not dare to wear them these days.......I look like a flying bat upside down!!

Sighhhhhh...hipster bell bottoms and chainy belts......very chic!!

Oh so many memories awakened with this one my friend. What a great window on time.

Oh! that mossy pungent aroma...after the rottenvegetation and stagnant waters of the Nam everglades, that song by J.Jopling "Oh Lord, would you by me-e-e a Mercedes Benz" seem allegoric to the today's crowd...

That pic brings back memories for me of the 69 woodstock when I was but a 15 year old kid that left there afterwards a 15 year old man, at least I thought so...such memories, thanks...Ed

I guess your write this morning will take several of us back in time and I just love it when our kids look at us and say this is a new style can we tell them a thing or two. Thank you for sharing.

Newfie Hugs, Rose
