But that way you can be different, just like everyone else!
<><><><
Back in the 70s when I was coming up it was so much easier (and less permanent) to be different, just like everyone else.
Grow your hair really long.
Smoke your weight in weed on a regular basis
Listen to the Grateful Dead
Let's all take the Non-Conformists' Oath:
I promise to be different
I promise to be unique
I promise not to repeat things other people say
Only I didn't do that. I was a fireman and had to have the hair cut short for safety reasons. PBR was the beverage of choice, although Bud would do.
By the time I grew my hair out and wore a bunch of patches, I was on a Harley...not drinking, and never got into weed...
All I can say is it was fun really being different and not running with the herd.
