Monty by Jim Meddick for June 19, 2023

They’re not in Kansas anymore.

Now, is he left-handed just because the continuity and composition of the artwork?

“Monty, I am your father…. ’s ghost!”

No self-respecting hippie would sing Dust on the Wind, that song came along long after hippie time.

That album came out in late ‘77 – definitely post-hippie. A real hippie would be playing Beatles or CCR, not Kansas (you just can’t play Hendrix acoustic, except for maybe “Watchtower”).

If you have old Crosby Stills & Nash albums in the attic, do theyplay themselves.

… he must be from Kansas.

Must have been around Ash Wednesday, when we acknowledge that we are but dust. (Not to be confused with butt dust… :-P)

Whats better than a ghost cover of Dust in the Wind ? ZOMBIE Dust in the Wind ! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I9FlvJX8PLU

Ironically, or coincidentally, see today’s Ripley’s Believe It Or Not. Jimi Hendrix and a right handed guitar.

GASP!

“We’re not in KANSAS anymore”.

Looks like an East Coast hippy ghost. Most of the West Coast’s ghosts would wear a tie-dyed t-shirt. :)

Guessing that whole “peace and love” thing didn’t work out…

I don’t think Dust in the Wind by Kansas, 1978, qualifies as a hippie song. Hippies had rejoined society by then and most had cut their hair.

Throw the squatter out! :)

Meddick’s my age so he knows the music from Point of Know Return isn’t hippie music. He’s just messing with us. I have many older cousins that actually grew up in the 60s. They went to high school and college in the 60s and their experiences were very different than mine. I was a little kid in grade school during the British invasion, Woodstock and hippies. I have no real memory of the assassination of JFK or the Civil Rights movement. The Vietnam war was over and done several years before I became fighting age. When I was in high school we were listening to Kansas, Bob Seger, Aerosmith, Queen, Van Halen, Supertramp etc. My wife is my age and I can guarantee you she wasn’t swooning over the Beatles, Herman’s Hermits or Bobby Sherman!

I should check my attic. There may well be a member of Kansas up there next to the card table and the old clothes.

He looks too solidto be a ghost.

The stage is set! Let the Hippie Ghost “do his Thing”!
