The original dirty hippie

3. Wash teeth if any
4. Shave
5. Take bath
9. Wear clean clothes — look good
10. Shine shoes
11. Change socks

I wish I could get my kids to do all this ... also “Change underwear,” but that’s probably included in #9.

Hippie? I dunno. Had a wife and 3 kids, didn't do drugs, and a regular job.

Kept clean, too, for a working man.

On second thought: hippie? More like a redneck or hillbilly, I think.

His 1943 autobiography, "Bound for Glory," would go a long way to explain the distinction.

The biggest difference was that Guthrie was born to genuine hardship, and worked every kind of job during the Great Depression to survive: fruit picker, stevedore, merchant marine, farmhand, street musician, cannery hand. He learned what would later be called "folk music," not from "folk music festivals" or recordings, but from other migrants, dock-hands, and bar singers, often down-and-outers, and of all accents and colors.

He said, "I am out to sing the songs that make you take pride in yourself and in your work."

Not a hippie attitude.
