Why? So you commie, pinko long-haired freaks can socialize it, call it community property and drink it? Hell no, sez I!
…“If I had my way I’d cut your hair off and send you to Vietnam” –
“Bless you, then” I replied to a hatted thin citizen hurrying to
the barroom door
upon wet dark Amsterdam Avenue decades later –
“And if I couldn’t do that I’d cut your throat” he snarled farewell,
and “bless you sir” I added as he went to his fate in the rain…
– from “Uptown,” Allen Ginsberg, 1966
“HAW HAW HAW! I can’t tell if it’s a BOY or a GIRL!”
“Well, then why don’t you SUCK MY DICK and find out!”
– Gilbert Shelton, 1968
I’ve got waist-length hair. I just had to laugh the one time a panhandler yelled at me “You’d better get a haircut or you’ll never get a job!”
One time a nutball college quad preacher told me that if I didn’t cut my hair like a good christian I was going to hell. I yelled back 'I take it you’ve never heard of Hercules" I walked away with the smirk of good-come-back self-satisfaction, until about 45 second later I realized that I had meant to say Samson :smack:, and figured all I probably did was confuse the hell out of him.
wolfman - Samson would’ve been a good comeback, but I would have gone for… let’s see… JESUS?

Oh, a good Christian like this guy?
Oh, Lucki, darn you to heck! It took me so long to find just the right Jesus portrait…
Get a haircut! Right after I cut mine. It’s getting in my eyes…
I have long hair but dont let those bastards get to you, but also dont get all pissy I mean the guy was drunk, and as we all know
drunk=cool
no im serious 
I have short hair and would consider my self a hippie.
Well, I used to be a hippie before I sold out to corporate america, got a haircut, got married, and started being a little responsible.
Man that was depressing. I am not going to shower this weekend, smoke a ton, and pontificate about the rainforest without actually doing anything about it.
Now I feel better.

The drunk guy wouldn’t have bothered me so much, if I could have just left. But since I was in the only line available (it was late), I was held captive to his incoherence.
Ah,Crosby,Stills and Nash:
Almost cut my hair,
happened just the other day…
Actually, my SO did cut my hair yesterday because it was
gettin’ kinda long,
coulda(did)said it was in my way…
I still hate hair cuts,but once a year I have to shear a few inches off or it constantly gets tangled up in anything possible.

Since I quit smoking,I am a hippy hippie. Ginsberg was,of course,a homo hippy hippie. Hee!
I kept my hair long untill the late 90s, HOWEVER, my hair was Ramones long as opposed to, say, Grand Funk Railroad long (not that there’s a difference, but the Exploited album cover painted on the back of my denim jacket was a pretty good clue.)
Anyway, I was standing at a bus stop and this guy and his kid was walking by. When they got within hearing distance I heard the guy saying…“back when I was a hippy like that guy”, I looked at him as mean as I could and said…“I ain’t no FUCKIN’ hippy!”
He’s lucky. If it would have been 1984 instead of 1994, I probably would have spit on him for emphasis. 
And then there was the time I was in tenth or eleventh grade (around '81 or '82), and I was one of the few people in town with my ear pierced. There was a biker bar that I could get served in, so I went in to get a six pack, and while I was standing at the bar, some old man came up to me and said “Are you from California?”
“What?” I said.
“Are you from California?” He asked again.
“No” I replied, “why?”
“You must be a faggot then”
“What”?
“You have an earring and you’re not from California, then you must be a faggot”
Well, I’m not a homophobe, so I didn’t really care if he thought I was gay or not, plus the bar was full of bikers, and I didn’t really want to get my ass kicked, so I just said “whatever dude”, got my beer and left.
I’ve kept my hair pretty short the last couple of years. I shave my head about every 6 or 7 months, and now sometimes white power asshole kids think I’m down with them. You just cant win. I will say though, that I was able to sell some 80s non-racist Oi! records to this one nazi kid for waaaayyyyy more than they were worth. Haha…I sold him a bootleg copy of Skrewdrivers first record (All Skrewed Up, A classic punk album that had nothing at all to do with white power) that I had bought for ten bucks new a few weeks before, for fifty bucks. THAT was pretty cool.

:dubious:
With all due respect, that seems like an abuse of moderator power. I spell hippy “hippy” too. If it was good enough for the Sex Pistols “Never Trust a Hippy” bootleg, its good enough for me
Jon
Heh. I guess things are changing. When that guy insulted the (neck-)long hair I used to have, he did it by calling me a faggot, not a hippie. Well, guilty as charged, I guess. Also I was wearing all black.
Um…wasn’t Jesus Jewish?
Yeah? Well I’m not an asshole, you drunken hippie!
