Please no PJ neo-hippies

Sian-of-the-dead

I don't see the problem and I certainly don't see a connection to Pearl Jam.

Hippies of all ages are usually peaceful people who yeah, smoke a bit of pot and listen to the Grateful Dead (who, I might add, are really rather good) but their main aim in life is to appreciate the world around them and help make this shit covered planet we call home, a better place.

I wish a few more people had hippie-esque values. The world would be a more beautiful place and we'd have less people coming onto internet message boards spouting their prejudices against other people's lifestyle choices.

Live and let live man... Peace.

you sound like you're tripping on something... :roll:

Most of the idiots who got arrested at the Phish shows were not "hippies" or, what you called them, "Neo Hippies". They were idiot newcomers to the scene who think it's all about getting f'd up and being spun out of your mind.

are these the kind of people that we can expect to start showing up at PJ shows now, due to the media blitz for ten?

You can call bigotry by any other name you like, but it's still bigotry. Let's not be neo-hippies? Let's not be bigots. Novel idea.

Haha, with so many things in the world to be upset about someone picks "neo hippies". Go buy a new Iphone and leave them alone.

figures someone with a name like dischord vision would start a thread like this. let me ask you this were you around the time period of dischord and sst DIY movement in the 80's. oh wait you weren't cause i just checked your post history and you were 16 in 96. also further reading through your post you seem to have a warped sense of view bout people who listen to hippie music. being a hippie isn't a bout the music, its bout the values and belief you stick with. kinda shocking someone with a name like dischord vision cant see that. am i hippie cause i like the grateful dead, not at all. s. let me ask you this would you rather have a drunk that's swaying back and forth and singing in his horrible voice and yelling out for the 100th time play jeremy or have someone smoking pot that's standing in his seat area and not bothering your seat area and enjoying the music.also you made a thread just like this one saying enough with the grateful dead comparisons we get it you don't like hippies. nothing like beating a broken record to death.

How the hell are you in the fanclub? Eddie Vedder isn't a drunk. You try going through the 1990s & come out clean w/ a clear head, better than most of PJ's peers. Blink 182 pic? seriously you're part of that hey, if a band sells a million records then they can headline on tour w/ Bad Religion 10 years ago. Bad Religion are punk pioneers & how they agreed to open for whiny SoCal white boys is a disgrace. If you're just standing in your seat smoking pot you're obviously bothering somebody, not to mention security about to bust you dumbass! What I learned from the D.C. era & yes I did this listen to their music in the 1980s w/ my older cousins, was why put yourself through that? Why consistently risk getting caught all because you wanted to get high? It's not worth it. There's too many negatives that outweigh the positives. Prisons are full of them! Thank you

agreed. I just wanted to make light of the whole Phish situation last weekend. I thought here we go again, these people never learn. Drugs are in fact bad when not used in moderation. Yes, the government's fucked up but one thing I believe they got right is the war on drugs. It ruins lives, makes good normal people assholes & they lose insight and rational decision making over time...it's a fact...prisons are full of them

You can cut yourself with a straight edge razor,
or never bother to shave your armpits,
turn up the music, and dance to your own beat.

Is it even possible to be a "hippie" in 2009?

apparently so...this is still a democracy so anything goes. But yeah, certain people need to wake up & realize they're fried or close to the point of no return.

that is ignorance if I've ever read it. Bob Marley, great musician for reggae though, died because he was so "anti establishment" he wouldn't go to a hospital when he contacted foot infections along w/ years of smoking probably didn't help. This isn't caveman times, without modern technology & science we wouldn't be anywhere, yourself included.

Just what is "the real world," anyway? Are you referring to the one with our "real" elected leaders, our "real" news, our "real" economy, where we work "real" jobs so we can buy the things we "really" need to survive? Good for the hippies, past, present, and future-- they're on to something, I believe. Or maybe they're just ON SOMETHING . Seriously though, who should dictate how you live but YOU anyway? Whether someone is "1950s and Git' 'er Done" or "2009 and trippin' balls," I don't care how he or she lives his or her life, so long as that person don't harm anyone, and I DON'T have to be FORCED to pay for that person's choice of lifestyle.

I'm guessing you've never been to a PJ show, but you will be happy to find that there are not very many hippies. It should be noted though, that if you have anything against white people, don't go to a PJ show. Namely, white males 18-30. There's quite a bit of them there.

You are certainly entitled to your opinions, sir. But based on this post, if I had to choose between sitting next to you or some peaceful high hippie at a PJ show, I'd pick the hippie (even a NEO-hippie! ) Not sure what you're so annoyed about, but live and let live ... thank you.

oh really ed isnt a drunk. the 3-4 bottles of red wine a night on tour dont make him a drunk , hmmmm ok there buddy. . im not part of any crowd i dont conform to things and i hate labels. maybe blink and bad religion are friends ever think of that. i was so excited to finally see bad religion it was an awesome time. oh please i've been listening to dc scene for many many years and have great respect for that movemenet and all, but good for you listening to it also. the diy community is all bout accepting people for who they are, obivously you didnt get that from the movement you prick. when you go to punk shows and someone lights a joint or something do you report them to club like a little rat and do u also report someone for being a drunk and stumbling all around the pit. yea nothing like prisons having pot heads in there but letting child sexual abuser be on probation, gotta love that judicial system. it really makes me fucking sick someone like you has a username like the one you have and can be such a narrow minded person.my ipod is full of nothing but the 80s diy dc scene and the seattle grunge scene and socal punk scene.

oh ok, if we live and let live then I assume Nazi Germany would still be going strong along w/ countless other bad people who made bad decisions. It shows you're naive. People aren't as laid back and care free as you'd like them to be. Muslim extremists want us all dead if they had their way. People who drag society down don't give a shit. They're only sorry when they get caught hence Phish fans last weekend. There's always going to be certain group of people who have other ways of viewing life & hippies just pretend by doing nothing. They only add to the problem, ingesting something or smoking something and hiding who you are is a joke. You can't hide and enjoy being numb all the time...it catches up w/ you
