Hi and welcome.
Here you’ll find my ramblings and writings on a variety of topics including orphans in Africa, bus drivers in Australia, some Japanese Haiku poetry and an occasional series on the “Memoirs Of An Aging Hippie”.
I was a part of the Hippie generation in the 1960′ & 70′s. The contraceptive pill had just become available and it was before the advent of AIDS. It was a generation of post war babies, who reacted to post second world war austerity by becoming loud and colourful, adopting the ideology of ‘make love not war’ and ‘sex, drugs and rock and roll’. Just think, if our politicians would make love and not war, the world would be a better place. However, I think most of the drugs turned out to be a disaster, even Timothy Leary eventually admitted that maybe it wasn’t such a good idea.
It was one of the most creative eras for music. You can still hear it in riffs, styles and chord structures in pop music today. From rock to hip hop, Beatles melodies and Led Zeppelin bleed through. Of course most of the kids producing contemporary music these days weren’t even born when the musical revolution of the sixties took place. In fact, some of their parents hadn’t even met!! I suppose they have childhood memories of being subjected to their parent’s vinyls.
I often wonder what nursing homes will be like when us aging hippies get there. Hopefully they will become communes with festival after festival, everyone will be in touch with their ‘inner Bonobo’ and we’ll all wear sarongs and live in teepees. I’m looking forward to it!
Now, an aging hippie I might be, but that doesn’t mean I haven’t embraced new technologies, (appropriate technology that is, see my articles on Luddites ), not at all. I’m a renaissance man. I’ve taught myself how to build websites like this one using WordPress. As a result I am now quite proficient at HTML, CSS and even PHP.
Here are some of my results:

Peace.

Between me and my husband we’ve owned more MP3 players over the years than I can count, including Sansas, iRivers, iPods (classic & touch), the Ibiza Rhapsody, etc. But, the last few years I’ve settled down to one line of players. Why? Because I was happy to discover how well-designed and fun to use the underappreciated (and widely mocked) Zunes are.
Thank you for your comment Jeanice. I’m not sure how it relates to my blog, but your observations on MP3 players are more than welcome. I have an iPod (classic) myself and I’ve never heard of the others, even Zunes.
Namaste
Michael
Internet Business will grow in the years to come as more and more people get online. I also invested in an online store.;~”
Hello Mike,
I like what you’re saying. .
hi Michael,
son of Arthur Wooller? please let me know…….. we are related .. some sort of cousins!!!!
From one boomer to another, nice work! MP3? What’s that? I can’t even find a radio with a dial on it anymore!
Thanks Joyce.
I enjoyed your blog.
Not only can’t you find a radio with a dial, you can’t find a piece of equipment with a knob or a switch! Luckily i managed to find an old Sansui amp from the 70′s with real switches and knobs. I use it to drive my old 70′s JBL studio monitors and rock the garage with Led Zep and the Beatles. Mind you I am using MP3s from the computer.
Peace and love.

Hi, Gald I came across your post. Much thanks
I am not positive if this is the right place, but I thought you should know I read this post a little while ago on another site. I think it was a wordpress blog with the same title. The content was almost the same, but I noticed that this one here has an older date. I guess they grabbed it from you, but maybe not who knows. Thought you may like to know.
Thank you for your comment.
Most of the articles on this website have been republished in forums such as Hub or Helium. I don’t know why anyone would want to steal my front page though. Do you remember where you saw it?
After reading your post.., I remember a song entitled “The way we were” Great post..
Keep posting stuff like this i really like it
I hope you will keep updating your content constantly as you have one dedicated reader here.
Excellently written article, if only all bloggers offered the same content as you, the internet would be a much better place. Please keep it up! Cheers.
