Pic of Bill and Hil from their hippie days..

[KyndCulture]

And he says he didn't inhale!!!! :rofl:

[bee]

1. is this an actual photo? n/t

[madmom]

4. yep it's in his book.

[bee]

6. I love it. I just love it. n/t

[formernaderite]

38. and I look at those pics remembering those times

thinking about all the people I know just like the clintons, so willing to sell us out on just about anything. Yeah, this ole hippy has become somewhat of a cynic, the hairs still long, but the mind and heart have hardened.

[Radio_Lady]

50. They "cleaned up" nicely, didn't they?

[grottieyottie]

65. Hippies

Are hippies dirty?

[Cessna Invesco Palin]

81. Yes. n/t

[grottieyottie]

82. Really?

Are black people less intelligent?
Are Arabs terrorists?
Are women inferior?
Are French people smelly?
Are Germans cold?


Are Americans stupid?

Let's not colour the world with prejudicial idiocy.

[Cessna Invesco Palin]

84. Look, I don't make the rules.

It's in the hippie manual - page 37, right after the section on homemade hemp clothing.

[KittyWampus]

96. OMFG... "cleaned up nicely" is a common expression that refers to ANYONE

who moves from casual to a more tailored look.

Get that chip off your shoulder... or maybe you're from some other country?

[ray of light]

85. she was pretty. He was...well...

If I saw him as a hitchhiker, I'd have run away screaming!

[Lilith Velkor]

91. He just looks kinda dorky to me

I've never understood why people got so freaked out by hippies. I mean, all ya gotta to do get the smell out of your car is roll the windows down and drive fast for a mile or so.

So what's the big problem? :shrug:

[Sequoia]

2. Oh sure.

Guess he bought his "lids" from Laura.

[xultar]

3. They don't look any different than what I imagine many of the DU hippies

brings it home doesn't it.

[rocktivity]

8. DING DING DING! Xultar, you're our grand prize winner!

They don't look any different than what I imagine many of the DU hippies...

Right--you'd best look at some old pics of yourselves before you cast the first stone(d)!

:rofl:
rocknation

[xultar]

13. I wish I could have been a hippie. I was born in 69. I did have

a nasty drippy jerri curl! I hung out with the kpunk rockers in high school. So kinda New Wave hippie in the 80's.

[madokie]

40. being a hippie is a mind set, so you can be, as I still am.

As I look back the thing that I'm most proud of is the fact I was/am a hippie. A badge of honor.

[annabanana]

76. yupyup!. . . . . . . .eom

[AnneD]

87. If I recall ...

correctly;), I was a hippy and actually have grown a bit more hippy :rofl:. Every day I juggle what I feel in my heart what is right and doing what is right. I recyle as much as I can, drive as little as I have to, had only 1 child, etc. Up until 6 years ago, I thought I would leave the world a better place. Funny how quickly it can turn to shit. Even saddier that someone from my could be allowed to bring us so close to the brink of destruction....and for what?

[Radio_Lady]

49. I wish I could have been a hippie. I was born in 39. Hung out with

the few other intellectuals in high school, but that ended in 1956.

When we got to the 1970s, I was already a divorced mother of two.

I had stepkids who were hippies, though. I don't have anything to do with two of them anymore. (Their choice, not mine.)

[xultar]

71. You are here on DU so it shows a Hippie @ heart mentality.

I feel like a hippie.

[Sparkman]

89. I've let the hair grow long from the murders in Iraq. 1st time since '75!

NOTHING say liberal like a two year old balding pony tail. Just wish I could handle the peace pipe, wimper wimper.

[ronnykmarshall]

95. The jerri curl!

Oh my god. I remember those. I worked with a girl that had one. What was up with that look?

Same with that big ass 80's hair I had in the early part of the decade.

[Blue_In_AK]

33. I look like that NOW...

My husband and I, old geezers that we are, are not cutting our hair until ** is out of office, one way or another. That includes HullBoss's beard.

[xultar]

72. Go-head then. Grow-yo hair. I'm with ya.

[magnolia]

79. Ah...the memories!

She asks me why
I'm just a hairy guy
I'm hairy noon and night
Hair that's a fright
I'm hairy high and low
Don't ask me why
Don't know
It's not for lack of break
Like the Grateful Dead
Darling

Gimme head with hair
Long beautiful hair
Shining, gleaming,
Streaming, flaxen, waxen

Give me down to there hair
Shoulder length or longer
Here baby, there mama
Everywhere daddy daddy

Hair, hair, hair, hair, hair, hair, hair
Flow it, show it
Long as God can grow it
My hair

Let it fly in the breeze
And get caught in the trees
Give a home to the fleas in my hair
A home for fleas
A hive for bees
A nest for birds
There ain't no words
For the beauty, the splendor, the wonder
Of my...

Hair, hair, hair, hair, hair, hair, hair
Flow it, show it
Long as God can grow it
My hair

I want it long, straight, curly, fuzzy
Snaggy, shaggy, ratty, matty
Oily, greasy, fleecy
Shining, gleaming, streaming
Flaxen, waxen
Knotted, polka-dotted
Twisted, beaded, braided
Powdered, flowered, and confettied
Bangled, tangled, spangled, and spaghettied!

Oh say can you see
My eyes if you can
Then my hair's too short

Down to here
Down to there
Down to where
It stops by itself

They'll be ga ga at the go go
When they see me in my toga
My toga made of blond
Brilliantined
Biblical hair

My hair like Jesus wore it
Hallelujah I adore it
Hallelujah Mary loved her son
Why don't my mother love me?

Hair, hair, hair, hair, hair, hair, hair
Flow it, show it
Long as God can grow it
My hair, hair, hair, hair, hair, hair, hair
Flow it, show it
Long as God can grow it
My hair

[AndyTiedye]

41. or even relatively new pictures

[bmbmd]

73. I was ragging on my kid to get a haircut.

He pulled out my wedding pictures. QED.

(but on me, it looked good....)

[Joe Fields]

75. OMG! When I look at photos of me from the 60's and 70's........

Need I say more?

Okay, I'll say more. I think fondly of those times when I still had hair!

[htuttle]

5. Bill was really letting his Freak Flag fly back then!

:hippie:

However, Al Gore, who looked like a clean cut Kingston Trio member back in the 1960's, was apparently much more of a stoner...Go figure.

[glitch]

56. Vietnam had a way of turning straights into stoners. nt

[Catherine Vincent]

7. That's my Bill!!!!!!!!!

[JohnnyRingo]

9. Good pic.....See if you regognize this couple:

[htuttle]

12. That's Al and Tipper

Though in that picture, it's easier to recognize her than him.

[NYCGirl]

15. They are seriously gorgeous! NT

[etherealtruth]

60. They still are n/t

[cornermouse]

23. White pants for hiking in the woods?

Bad choice.

[RUMMYisFROSTED]

29. Probably for fucking in the tent.

Or maybe she really thought she could navigate the many white-pants-staining obstacles in the forest.

:shrug:


The wild-eyed abandon of uninformed youth is refreshing!

[abluelady]

42. They are not white

they are a light khaki jean--we all lived in them back then.

[cornermouse]

43. They look white or ivory to me.

Nevertheless, that's still a bad choice for hiking in the woods.

[abluelady]

46. The Funny Thing Is

I can't remember wearing blue jeans back then--only those light colored jeans. As a matter of fact girls couldn't even wear pants to school back then.

[robinlynne]

62. you remember that too?

We used to hide our pants under long skirts and get caught and get expelled from school.

[abluelady]

80. We didn't even think about pants.

I mighthave owned a couple of pair for cold weekends but that was it. People who wish they lived back in the 50's should remember all the crap women went through.

[SharonAnn]

92. Oooh, oooh, remember starched crinolines? Full skirts? Gloves?

Tight sweaters? Bobby sox? White buck shoes?

Then, the Jackie Kennedy look. A line dresses. Pill box hats. Elegant women's suits.

College (1963 - 1965) was Kingston Trio look, preppy clothes, pleated skirts, slacks still not allowed on campus.

Then it started to change. Jeans, T-shirts, long hair, etc.

But, at the same time was the "Mod" look. Short skirts, psychedelic colors, and pantyhose were invented. Slacks not allowed at the office.

Ah yes, the "good old days".

[Nicole]

67. I wore them in the mountains,

at the lake & everywhere else. They were easy to clean because I could use bleach which I couldn't do on blue jeans. Unless I was intentionally trying to fade them, which we also did. Jeans didn't come in bleached or stone washed back then.

[OzarkDem]

45. "wheat" jeans, we called them

the color was popular with both sexes. I had several pair and I don't recall them getting too stained, unless you were sliding in the grass.

[abluelady]

47. I did too, but no "blue jeans." eom

[Nicole]

66. I had those too

a very light khaki. What is khaki now we called tan in the 70's.

[incapsulated]

52. They were adorable

So cute! :)

[Nicole]

68. Al & Tipper

look great there!

[katinmn]

77. Nice. They always seem to be smiling together

:loveya:

[Joe Fields]

78. Damn, Al's knees are as knobby as mine! LOL

[karynnj]

93. The Gores?

[karynnj]

94. The Gores?

[ronnykmarshall]

97. Yow!

Al was a major hottie, so was Tipper.

They still are both beautiful. When I met them the one thing that struck me was how beautiful Tipper's eyes were. Al is a MAJOR hunk.

[AnnInLa]

10. Right On!

How straight we old hippies look today...sometimes it embarrasses me! (The new straightness, not the old hippiness) But, I guess we had to grow up sometime? Maybe?

Aw, they were so cute.

[Mikimouse]

20. I'm not sure if I would describe it as...

'growing up'. I would describe it more as being absorbed.

[acmejack]

21. They do not look like hippies, to me.

I was around in that era, and I sate without reservation: Way too well pressed. They look like a nice couple from the Greek Row, which is, after all, exactly who they are.

[July]

26. Greek Row? Where did you go to school?

I was around then, too, and my school's Greeks didn't look anything like that.

On the other hand, they look like thousands of other college kids of the day.

[acmejack]

28. Excuse the lack of sophistication on my part.

I retract the comment and defer to the wisdom of one who has observed thousands of college kids of the day.

[July]

36. Works for me. nt

[Psephos]

11. I was going to make a snarky comment...

...but then I remembered what's in my own shoebox of old pics. Heh heh.

:hippie:

[derby378]

14. They look like such a cute couple...

"Like, hey, man, did you catch that new Jimi Hendrix album? Fuckin' rocks, man."

"Groovy, Hillary. Let's score our copy before we hit the dorms."

[MADem]

16. I heard he liked brownies!!! n/t

Of course, you can sorta inhale those, but in a different way!

[MadHound]

17. Hell, Hillary's looking pretty "happy" herself

Her eyes are down to slits here:rofl:

[KyndCulture]

22. I know, right?!!

that's what I saw too...

"bill pass that shit, man"

[SOS]

88. And yet....

US marijuana arrests under George HW Bush, 1991: 287,850

US marijuana arrests under Bill Clinton, 1999: 704,812

:mad:

[Alamom]

18. They actually look rather clean cut compared to some........

me, included.

Peace :hippie:

[wicket]

19. He didn't inhale- he ate it in brownies!

:D :hippie:

[TheCowsCameHome]

24. Better than any RW preppy-looking dolts I've seen lately.

[KyndCulture]

25. yeah the brooks brothers mafia...

[northofdenali]

27. These pics are great!! God, do they bring back memories.

But my husband's hair is longer than that - NOW. :rofl:

Biker hippies in their 50's - go figure!!

[KyndCulture]

30. kick

:kick:

[gatorboy]

31. Thundercats...Ho!!!!

Is it me or does Bill look like Lion-O?

[Hobarticus]

34. LOL!!!! Post of the day!!!!

Hillary as Sheera!

[Mr_Spock]

32. I love that picture!!!

It's my favorite photo of them!

[Catherine Vincent]

35. I love it too. Bill has that same contagious smile.

[AlCzervik]

37. hey when i was in London i was at the spot he didn't inhale at

My Niece goes to Oxford and this is the patio area at the pub where no inhalation took place.

It's the turf tavern and they love Clinton at Oxford.

[Ilsa]

39. I htink it was in a book about Hilary also, back in 1992 or 1993. eom

[Catherine Vincent]

44. Kick for sweet William Jefferson Clinton!

:kick:

[bigwillq]

48. What a nice pic!

Hill actually looks pretty good in it.

:smoke:

[incapsulated]

51. I remember that one

It's a great pic. Dang, Bill had great hair! :)

[lonestarnot]

53. Wooodamnwhooo! Hippies! Peace.

[LuCifer]

54. Ah, remember the good old days?!

Back when elections weren't rigged, you could get a job that sorta pays good, your phone calls weren't tapped, terrorism was actually thwarted in the USA, wars weren't done for nothing but profit (ok, not so sure about THAT one!)...

[Hissyspit]

55. Off to the Greatest Page with hip Bill and Hillary!

Probably were on their way to the record store to pick up a copy of The Beatles "white album."

"Listen to this one, Hillary. 'Why don't we do it in the road...'"

[Balbus]

57. Fantastic picture!!

They look like fun people.

[Zorra]

58. Them dirty no good campus radicals.

Gotta love 'em.
:hippie:

[mconvente]

59. haha thats awesome lol n/t

[yorkiemommie1]

61. i wonder what laura looked like back then?

we see way too many of * then and now.

[Elwood P Dowd]

63. I remember going 7 months without cutting the hair

after doing my 2-year Army thing (drafted). Never got as long as Bill's, but then I had NO HAIR when I started my barber boycott.

[Liberal In Texas]

64. Cool. Thanks for posting. It reminds me of that time and the friends

that I had.

Hell, it reminds me of me. (Back then...)

[Strangefire]

69. Aww, they look so cute. :) (nt)

[Raksha]

70. I LOVE IT!!! Almost ,makes me feel young again... n/t

[Joe Fields]

74. I cant tell who looks more stoned---him or her! LOL

[hexola]

83. All he's lost, he shall regain...(nt)

[newportdadde]

86. Bill needs one of those LA plane stopping hair cuts there.

:)

[Bushy Being Born]

90. Keep in mind that just a few years before that,

Hillary was driving around with a Goldwater bumper-sticker!

[DoBotherMe]

98. My sister has many allergies including an

allergy to smoke. She tried to smoke pot, but couldn't inhale it, she tried, but the choking and coughing and burning were too much. I believe him, because I saw someone with extreme allergies TRY to smoke pot, but she couldn't even inhale it. D ; )

[porphyrian]

99. It looks like they didn't inhale right before that picture. - n/t

[DarleenMB]

100. There's a big difference

between being a "hippie" and being a college student.

come on. Hippies lived in communes, tuned in, turned on and dropped out.

College students with bad hair who occasionally smoked dope were not hippies.
