Boomer Hippies saw all the great bands when they were young & good!

@Atticus1956 @starlily We sure did. But what’s more important is, many of us still held on to our values and didn’t succumb to Big Corpthink.

Very true! Which makes today's environment all the more unacceptable.

Nice thing about Mastodon is we can all let our inner child loose and no one seems to belittle us for it. 🙇‍♂️

Let's hang out friend! 1965, first year of gen-x and damn proud to have attended five Rock Against reagan concerts in DC. I still have a bumper sticker on my motorcycle that reads "I'm already against the next war".

@mycotropic @tersenurse @starlily I have Reagan’s disgusting signature on my UCLA degree certificate. I hate it because of that.

He caused irreparable damage/deaths, hated him then, hate him now.

If you ask for a duplicate, will it have current authorities’ signatures?

GottaLaff OP ,
@GottaLaff@mastodon.social avatar

@Benhm3 No idea. But it’s buried somewhere in my moving boxes, so I don’t have to see it. @mycotropic @tersenurse @starlily

Funny thing, I went to UMass Boston and Billy Bulger appointed himself president of the university before I graduated. Billy, formerly the speaker of the house for the Massachusetts Senate, was the brother of Whitey Bulger, top murderous gangster on the FBIs ten most wanted for years. So, yeah, Billy supposedly signed my diploma but I can't prove that because I've never opened the envelope they mailed to me because of that potential signature.
I feel you Laffy!

In your copious spare time the book "The Brothers Bulger" is a good read. Howie Carr is a dick but he writes with an engaging style!

@GottaLaff I was raised in communes, remote cabins and a school bus by starry eyed hippies and imprinted with their ideals. I then watched them throw it all away and vote for Reagan.
So unless you marched for peace then voted for war on Americans, we are good.

GottaLaff OP ,
@GottaLaff@mastodon.social avatar

@starlily Lol, you sure don’t know me yet.

Yes, I marched/got tear-gassed for peace and continue to fight against wars. On Americans? Not sure which ones you’re referring to. But I’m a peacenik.
