      one of those hippies whose only in it to get laid.

      100000%. I gather OldSoulHippie here traveled in the same or very similar circles around the same time as me growing up and we have seen soooooooooo many of these guys. I caught that vibe from him the first time I ever saw him speak. The dude just oozes sleaze.

        Yup. Most likely. I went to my first hippie music festival in 2006 and my last contact with “the scene” was 2023 at a Dead and Company show. I’ve seen some wild shit. I’ve had a lot of great times too, but there are so many scumbags that dress the part, have a nice face and enough earthy platitudes to lure young girls into thinking they’re so spiritual and wise. The movers and shakers of the jamband/festival world are for the most part absolute scumbags. The weird hippie capitalism that came up around what could have been a great place to mint leftists is really something to behold
