Hi Everybody!!
Welcome to Hippy Hour-Saturday Night Dance!!
Presenting the Hippie of the Hour: Lana Patterson
Lana's Historic Dance of Hippy Hour 1 YOU GO GIRL---- She felt The Earth Move Under Her Feet!
The following vid is Lana's warm up for the Dance!
The next video sets the Tone for tonight's Hippy Hour by giving us a glimpse backward in Time.
I do want to point out that in viewing these old videos, you may see drug use. I remind You this behavior was 40 years ago before drugs were even illegal (in the states). Yes, many people did Drugs. They were cheap, plentiful and good. Yes, many people became drug addicts. They are all dead now. Life expectancy is not long for the addicted. I do not want drugs to be the focus of this Hippy Hour Saturday Night Dance. There are millions of us who made it from the sixties to our sixties!!!!!!
We did not arrive here in 2012 by laying around doing drugs for 40 or 50 years. We are the most productive generation in History. Sadly, we are also the most destructive force to the Earth and the residents (all of them). Humans are just killing everyone and everything. Soon the Earth will look like Mars-Lifeless.
The reason for Hippy Hour is to reflect on the Positive Aspects of the 60's and 70's. Love of the Earth, Mother Nature, the Music and Each Other was PRIORITY. The music carried the movement, not the drugs. The music and dance is what we are celebrating here on the Google Blog. Just Dance!!!
To begin the trip back in time, just push play!

Gehört habe ich von den Hippie Zeiten , aber ich bin froh , dass ich von den Rauschgiften und allem was dazu gehörte fern gehalten wurde , mein Vater bestimmte was gut für uns war . Heute bin ich ihm Dankbar dafür .
ReplyDeleteHallo Gisela!! Wir danken Ihnen für Ihr Kommen zu dem Tanz. Ich habe es nicht die Drogen entweder. Ich habe zu tun, den Tanz und Musik! Nur tun, etwas anderes für den Sommer. Hast du tanzen??? Love Ya
DeleteWow ... that was another great Hippie Hour. The dancing was SWEET! It was raining or I would have done "Dancing in the Street" in the street! =) But this time Hippie Hour was really special because my 10 year old granddaughter danced with me! Passing the great 60s spirit on to another generation. Thanks Brendasue for another great event! Oh, and by the way... dancing to your lively 4th song nearly did me in! I think 3 songs were enough for me!! =) Lots of fun!
ReplyDeleteHey Hippie chick!!! You made it! I am so glad the granddaughter is with you to dance! I hope you reshare the post to spread it around. i am so upset to work so hard only to have Google try to knock me down again. They did not publish my Hippy Hour Post to Google Reader. Many of my readers did not see a Saturday Night Post because it was not published by Google on Saturday night. It may not be posted for weeks.
DeleteI am glad some people got to see it. 14 reads to be exact. Out of 7 billion people, 14 is not very many.
It really makes a difference if they get PUBLISHED.
Thank you for participating. I am going to rethink this effort.
