“”And southern hippies like me an excuse to admit we liked dads music

So did Bob Dylan and Johnny Cash in the 60s, Mother Earth News, back to the land, old pickups, basic farm guns, earth mothers, farms and rural living with big gardens and chickens, wine beer and doobies with cowboy hats and red bandanas, people don’t know much about the few real hippies, and how many of them lived and thought.

Chet Atkins all of life- not so much stones but— Alan Parsons, 10cc you bet,for their advanced recording and writing. Allman Brothers from way back in FL
They played the pier in Daytona, as the Allman Joys (and both Greg and Duane were born in Nashville) then UF campus- but the dope (heroin) killed Duane very early. ATL: Joe South and of course the Atlanta Rhythm Section.

Garth from Oklahoma, and started with and still has a large oil trust fund inheritance he tries to disguise- acting and maybe being nuts (Townes van Zandt-Texas oil money, and a personal disaster alkie) but everyone knows the difference between an “act” and who someone really is- with rare exceptions in history the two were the same- Hank Williams (human disaster but wrote anguish of his times), and of course The Delmore Brothers- quite real Americana. Alton’s book- “Truth is Stranger than Publicity” is a gritty story of life on the road in the 1920’s.
