Yes indeed! This is definitely another one! This song first came out when I was just a kid and my older cousins and such who were just so darn cool were saying how "groovy" it was....   I couldn't wait to be just a few years older so that I could say things like "groovy" and "man" and wear hip hugger jeans with body suits and put beads and flowers in my hair.  Well by the time that I was 14 most of this stuff was already out of date...   Heck you couldn't even find hip huggers in a store unless you went to the army surplace were some of us die hard hippies and flower children shopped for a while.  Eventually even I gave up and joined the new era of the "preppies" and what they called the "high waster jeans". But this song takes me back to a time of incense, walnuts in a bowl and knitted poncho's. Bicycles and VW Beetles. Clover neckless' and long strait hair w/bangs. We hadn't heard of rap, blunts or grills for your mouth and AK47's were only for kidnappers.  Once again Ghost..... thanks for the memories.
