The hippy movement was a failure. All hippies around now just represent complete apathy. There's a million good reasons why the thing failed, OK. But the only thing we've got to live with is that it failed.

I was never a hippy, per se.

I hate the word 'hippy.'

So many great movements didn't succeed the first time, but people kept trying and trying and trying.

I hate the word 'hippy'. I hate a lot of people, and hippies don't do that!

I've always despised the hippies.

I don't know why this concept of what is hip became so important to me.

I don't think there's any way it could have failed. We don't know failure in this band. We didn't know failure. We got to know it a little after awhile but at that time there was no such word.

Hippy people had a hopeful idea of what they wanted the world to be like, then most of them changed into corporate Yuppies. But I still have that hippy thing underneath somewhere.
