I like your posts on hippies, especially the freedom part 3WD.
who is Bob?
as for Platt... funny right now on my tv is that Diet Pepsi
commercial where this suit and tie guy on a bus filled
with suit and tie people is imagining himself on this
motorcylce riding along with the "Easy Rider" guy.
Platt is looking for adventure and whatever comes his way, born to be wild..
LOL
They say guys who tell way too many gay jokes is "struggling".
So Platt constantly bringing up those damn hippies is y'know....."struggling".
I doubt Platt has been listening exclusively to classical music all his life..
Platt out with it secretly you listen to the Doors and then come online and
and rave about Mozart don't ya;)
what was your first record you bought?
