The "Rucksack" generation!

“I think the "rucksack" generation of the 60's still exists within all who love backpacking.”

“Thanks for sharing!”

“You are welcome!”

“wild child........jai...true for many.......

"i came upon a child of god who was walking along the road,
i asked him ,...where are you going? and this he told me..
I am going down to yasgurs farm, gonna find me a rock and roll band, gonna camp out on the land to try and set my soul free.."
We are starddust, we are golden , and we've got to get ourselves back to the garden" joni mitchell/woodstock”

“didn't CSN&Y also do a version of this song?”

“I thought CSN+Y did it at woodstock, though its Joni's. I may be mistaken. If you can remember it, you weren't there. My Dad always referred to my backpack as a rucksack and I'd always ask "Whats a ruck?"”

“Hmmmmmm? .... more Joni fans .... probably still listening to Zappa too. Read "The Dharma Bunms" lately? If not maybe you should to remember why we all got into rucksacking (aka BPing). Me, I just got into it for all the yab-yum!!!”

“the dharma bums is my favorite book by jack.”

“that's cause it's the best book by Jack...”

“Joni Mitchell wrote it, CSNY played it at woodstock. I wasn't there. (damn!) And yes, I still listen to Zappa.

“and doesnt everyone have a bookshelf shelf?...:)”

“I do, it's perfect for storing my book selves when not in use. It looks great by my clothes closet closet and my steamer trunk trunk.”

“My book shelf doesn't exist!

What is Dharma Bums about? Sounds like something interesting.

Read: Dharma Gaia!”

“I went out at lunch and bought "Dharma Bums", it's a great book, thanks for the suggestion!”

“Out to lunch, huh?

How about "Naked Lunch"?”

“What?”

“tarpy, you will love the dharma bums. it is one of my favorites.

the naked lunch, by burroughs. here, have a bite.”

“I was just on another site, and happened to see William Burroughs in an article! Crazy day!

I didn't realize everyone was so well read in Buddhism.
