In the mid-'60s, I quit school and wandered across the country, hitchhiked back and forth a few times, and ended up in hippie times, in the street in Toronto, in Yorkville.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
When I was 19 years old, I hitchhiked across the country to San Francisco.
I was a college dropout, hitchhiking across the Midwest. That was part of the old, adventurous spirit.
I grew up in a hippie commune so I have a real hippie part of me.
I never was a hippie! I went to India because so many friends like Mia Farrow and the Beatles were going there to discover truth. And so I went and trekked through India by myself, but instead of discovering truth, I wanted to join the Peace Corps.
I grew up in the suburbs of Toronto, where everything was in a strip mall.
I was a little too young to be a hippie.
It was 1967, and the hippie thing was happening. I got into experimenting with drugs while I was in college in Michigan.
I went through bits of the 60s and thought myself a bit of a hippy.
I'm from the '60s, but no one has ever accused me of being a hippie. I never had much interest in the Woodstock crowd, which partied to change the world, while real people were starving to death in Africa.
I was born in Iowa City and spent my early childhood on a hippie commune just outside of town.
