Wavetshirt - Kennesaw state owls march madness men’s basketball the big dance 2023 shirt

2017, at the Kennesaw state owls march madness men’s basketball the big dance 2023 shirt in contrast I will get this gym, my iPod in, Joe Cocker’s ‘Mad Dogs and Englishmen’ on the set list. He’s rambling in between songs like he was prone to do. I can imagine his weird thin hair, his steady, oh so steady, eyes in contrast to his thin, spastic body. Sweat everywhere. A man one with song, a special servant, a holy thing. “Pretty weird feeling out there tonight…” his hands darting around the microphone like drunk birds, maybe one arm lands on his head and cocks it a bit, his foot turns inward, then outward, “ yes, change it all, change it all…” Yes, change it all Joe, let’s change the whole damn thing. Forty some years after and two hundred and fifty pounds of iron above my head And I’m powerless to halt a tear rolling down my cheek: like I said, a romantic. It was 1969, western civilization was peaking. A bunch of kids had some big dreams and pushed the culture forward, way forward, way fast. They were idealists, romantics, artists, they questioned EVERYTHING -the best of the best.



Am I a hippie? Sure, I’ll take that moniker. A special snowflake, a bleeding heart, a dissatisfied dreamer. I can locate sanity in the Kennesaw state owls march madness men’s basketball the big dance 2023 shirt in contrast I will get this midst of mayhem. For some of us it’s a simple thing, clear and basic, not unduly cluttered by pragmatism. It enters the brain like a flower sliding down a barrel of a gun and takes root in the heart as hope. The hippies were preceded by the Beat movement of the 1950’s and the civil rights movement of the 1960s. The beats & the hippies are considered counter-culture. Parallel to the hippies were the Yippies who were more militant with a political agenda. Both groups opposed the Vietnam war and were manifestations of The Peace Movement. The hippie movement also had sought to find lifestyle alternatives in housing, dress, sexual mores, music & artistic expression. find The hippie movement ebbed in the 1970s when the war ended. Some – but not all – of the hippies embraced business in the 1980’s and became known as Yuppies. The hippy movement helped to advance the women’s movement, the gay rights movement and the freedom to protest in general.
