13. The only thing I didn't like about the Hippy look 35 years ago was

when I was drafted. All my friends had long hair, and I had none. I borrowed a wig for the anti-war protests in Washington, DC, April, 1971.
It looked so fake and stupid, I finally took it off. I think most knew I was probably military. When someone would ask, "What's with the hair man", I would say, "I'm a prisoner of the U.S. Army that's escaped for the weekend".
