Każda potężna biba kończy się proporcjonalnie potężnym kacem; każdy kolorowy sen bolesnym przebudzeniem. Hipisowskie fantasmagorie zrodziły nieokreśloną, mglistą, nieuchwytną nadzieję na Nie- Wiadomo-Co. Oniryczne, ciężkie od narkotyków Lato Miłości okazało się utopijnym, naiwnym epizodem: Ery Wodnika jak nie było, tak nie ma i trudno po prawdzie sądzić, by miała ona kiedykolwiek nadejść. Sen zakończył się wraz z Woodstock, śmiercią Wielkich tamtej epoki, rozpadem The Beatles, praską wiosną, paryskim majem, triumfem czerwonych w Wietnamie, słowem - istnym pochodem wydarzeń smutnych, głupich, tragicznych, nadętych i niepotrzebnych. Wmanewrowani bezwiednie w politykę, długowłosi zasiali w dodatku nasiona, które wydały pod koniec stulecia zatrute owoce politycznej poprawności, feminizmu i innych tego typu bałwaństw. #punk#punkrock#hippie
When the Enterprise tracks down a rogue band of Space Hippies, Star Trek gets baked out of its mind and takes a big swing at the counterculture movements of the 1960’s. Why haven’t we eaten the rich yet? Is the grass greener on the other religion? Do you reach, Herbert?
Listen @ HumanistTrek.com or your favorite podcatcher!
@humanisttrek Loved your takes! I think Dr Sevrin was supposed to be the charismatic cult leader who leads his flock into certain death. Quite prescient, considering this was long before Jonestown and Heaven's Gate.
Just sent out a large batch of holiday aka Xmas/Yule cards to family and close friends. The trickiest part is those certain family members that are quite set in their religious ways and I am not exactly religiously aligned with them, and picking out a generally neutral enough card that doesn’t offend me or them.
Yes they know I’m different, and I could simply dismiss them from my life for being too Far Right or whatever, but I do still care about them and if they can tell I’ve put in an effort to graciously meet them more than halfway, then I’ve shown them us left-leaning old hippies are maybe not so bad.
It is worth it to have some compassion and keep these connections going if it means I can still reach them. I know I sound very son Luke talking about dad Vader but hey, I’m supposed to be open and caring.
Kids walking up and asking "what band is that?", older neighbors walking up and saying "Play Sugar Mag!", families standing on the sidewalk watching the show. 💀⚡🎃 Strangers spooking strangers, happy Halloween!
