State Street, Chicago 1969
About My Nickname:
I was the only hippy in my area and I was Polish; guess thats where the idea for my nickname
came from. I am not sure who gave it to me first, but it
may have been a Belgian classmate I remember from school.
Since then my friends called me The Polish Hippy. I
have signatures with that nickname in my school's
yearbooks dating it back to 1966.
A inside
cover page from my 1969 High School yearbook
What
drew much attention to me was the day the School
Principle or Schoolmaster of private school I attended
forced me to get a haircut. I was given a haircut at a
local Barber Shop and told to stop wearing beads; I still
have them. Hippies didnt have it easy in the 60s. I
don't think we gained wider recognition in most of the
United States and the world until about 1968 or 1969.
Festivals such as Woodstock and large, well-organized
Peace marches drew much attention to the movement; while
at the same time, opposition to the Vietnam War was
growing among various other groups of citizens.
I had only a few close friends but because I
became the talk of town, and my nickname was quite catchy
the word got out and spread throughout some Chicago
schools. Through the years a kind of legend grew around
the idea of a Polish Hippy. It may be just a coincidence,
but an author (Radni, Rado or both) of Hair was a Belgian
Chicagoan too, who still lived in Oakbrook, Illinois
through the 1970 and 1980s. And the name Polish Hippy was
mentioned in their original musical and movie and then in
other later works by other authors.
I was asked to write a few articles about the
hippie movement for the Sophomore Press at St. Francis De
Sales High School. However, writing was never my bag and
I am not very good at it. I write only out of inspiration
or when I really have to.
I am awaiting the day I once foretold would come
when PCs would replace TVs. In my opinion, the Internet
requires too much reading and writing. That is, with the
exception of some multimedia, porn and arty sites. That
is why I have also added pages with my private photos and
homegrown recordings to this site.

About
Me:
I am a 1960s hippie, participant of the
Peace Movement and Anti-Vietnam War Movement. I like comedy, musicals and humor. So please
don't take everything I say too literally.
I am proud to have grown up in the State of Illinois
which has abolished slavery long before the Civil War and
gave us Abraham Lincoln. It has also played an important
role in the implementation of human rights in America. It
was the first State to legalize homosexuality long before
other States did and played an important role in the 1960-80s
Civil Rights Movement. So, I hope it will also live up to those fine
examples it has set for the rest of the Nation in the
past and do more fine things like that in the future.
My dreams in the 1960-70s were to live in a peaceful,
tolerant and loving environment. I also wanted to lead a
lifestyle made for people that wear sandles; to have such
things as a beach house, a red MGB GT and/or a VW-Bus painted in psychedelic swirls and flowers, and
to hang out with hippie surfers at Venice Beach, Lower Trestles, or in Australia's Bell's Beach near Torquay or somewhere else like that. I
also wanted to make a good living as an artist or a
Nudist Colony Activity Coordinator (lol) or something or
other like that. And I also wanted to find a lifetime
partner, chill out at mellow beach blanket parties or hippie pads and do other ridiculous things
like that. But my dreams changed a bit by the 1980s. They
were to move to Europe, to find my roots there. In the
1990s I was also considering moving from Europe to
Australia, New Zealand or to India. Now, in 2000s my
dreams haven't changed much accept for the location where
I would like to be. The world keeps changing and so do I
with it. Today, I'd still like to live in a peaceful,
tolerant and loving environment such as the one I found
in Holland. I'd like to have an apartment, house or a
houseboat in Amsterdam, and hang out in Coffeeshops, Vondelpark or some other places like that. I'd still like
to make a good living as an Artist, a Nudist Colony
Activity Coordinator, a Webmaster, or an owner of a
coffeeshop, pub or headshop in Holland. I'm still looking
for a lifetime partner that I could chill out with. So
you see, not much has changed. My dreams are quite rigid.
And I'm closer to Amsterdam now then I ever was to West
Coast or Ausie beaches. As to people that I find
interesting... I admire the wisdom and the works of Gore Vidal that have contributed greatly to making America
a better place for all to be in. My favorite celebrities
are Keith Richards and Ronnie Wood of The Rolling Stones, George Carlin, Rodney Dangerfield, Howard Stern and I wish I could be as clever in business as Richard Bronson.

Some
favorite lyrics
Last Night I Had The
Strangest Dream
by Simon & Garfunkel
Last
night I had the strangest dream
I ever dreamed before
I dreamed the world had all agreed
To put an end to war
I dreamed I saw a mighty room
The room was filled with men
And the paper they were signing said
They'd never fight again
And when the papers all were signed
And a million copies made
They all joined hands and bowed their heads
And grateful prayers were prayed
And the people in the streets below
Were dancing round and round
And guns and swords and uniforms
Were scattered on the ground
Last night I had the strangest dream
I ever dreamed before
I dreamed the world had all agreed
To put an end to war.
Early Morning Rain
by Gordon Lightfoot
In
the early morning rain with a dollar in my
hand
With an aching in my heart and a pocket full
of sand.
I'm a long way from home and I miss my loved
one so
In the early morning rain with no place to go.
Out on runway number nine, big 707 set to go.
But I'm stuck here on the grass where the
cold winds they do blow,
Where whiskey it was boss and the women they
were fast.
Well now there she goes my friend, now there
she's rolling down the line.
Hear the mighty engines roar, see the silver
bird on high.
She's away and westward bound, far above the
clouds she'll fly.
There the morning rain don't fall and the sun
always shines.
She'll be flying over my home in about three
hours time.
This old airport's got me down, it ain't no
earthy good to me
Because I'm stuck here on the ground, cold
and drunk as I can be.
You can't jump a jet plane like you can a
railroad train.
So I'd best be on my way in the early morning
rain.
Imagine
by John Lennon
Imagine
there's no heaven
It's easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us only sky
Imagine all the people
Living for today...
Imagine there's no countries
It isn't hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion too
Imagine all the people
Living life in peace...
You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will be as one
Imagine no possessions
I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger
A brotherhood of man
Imagine all the people
Sharing all the world...
You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will live as one
The Times They Are A-Changin'
by Bob Dylan
Come
gather 'round people where-ever you roam
and admit that the waters around you have
grown.
And accept it that soon you'll be drenched to
the bone,
if your time to you is worth savin'.
Then you better start swimmin' or you'll sink
like a stone
FOR THE TIMES THEY ARE A-CHANGIN'!
Come writers and critics who phrophecise with
your pen
and keep your eyes wide the chance won't come
again.
And don't speak too soon for the wheel's
still in spin
and there's no tellin' who that it's namin'.
For the loser now will be later to win
FOR THE TIMES THEY ARE A-CHANGIN'!
Come mothers and fathers throughout the land
and don't criticize what you can't understand.
Your sons and your daughters are beyond your
command
your old road is rapidly again'.
Please get out of the new one if you can't
lend your hand
FOR THE TIMES THEY ARE A-CHANGIN'!
Come senators, congressmen please head the
call
don't stand in the doorway, don't block up
the hall
for he that gets hurt will be he who has
stalled.
There's a battle outside and it's ragin'
it'll soon shake your windows and rattle your
walls
FOR THE TIMES THEY ARE A-CHANGIN'!
The line it is drown, the curse it is cast
the slow one now will later be fast.
As the president now will later be past
the order is rapidly fadin'.
And the first one now will later be last
FOR THE TIMES THEY ARE A-CHANGIN'!
The
times they are a-changin' on my Mickey Mouse

Turn,
Turn, Turn
by Pete Seeger
Lyrics from The Book of
Ecclesiastes
To
everything, Turn, Turn, Turn
There is a season, Turn, Turn, Turn
And a time for every purpose, under Heaven
A time to be born, a time to die
A time to plant, a time to reap
A time to kill, a time to heal
A time to laugh, a time to weep
To Everything, Turn, Turn, Turn
There is a season, Turn, Turn, Turn
And a time for every purpose, under Heaven
A time to build up, a time to break down
A time to dance, a time to mourn
A time to cast away stones, a time to gather
stones together
To Everything, Turn, Turn, Turn
There is a season, Turn, Turn, Turn
And a time for every purpose, under Heaven
A time of love, a time of hate
A time of war, a time of peace
A time you may embrace, a time to refrain
from embracing
To Everything, Turn, Turn, Turn
There is a season, Turn, Turn, Turn
And a time for every purpose, under Heaven
A time to gain, a time to lose
A time to rend, a time to sew
A time to love, a time to hate
A time for peace, I swear it's not too late.
Somebody To Love
by Darby Slick (Jefferson
Airplane)
When
the truth is found to be lies
and all the joys within you dies
don't you want somebody to love
don't you need somebody to love
wouldn't you love somebody to love
you better find somebody to love
When the garden flowers baby are dead yes
and your mind is full of red
don't you want somebody to love
don't you need somebody to love
wouldn't you love somebody to love
you better find somebody to love
your eyes, I say your eyes may look like his
but in your head baby I'm afraid you don't
know where it is
don't you want somebody to love
don't you need somebody to love
wouldn't you love somebody to love
you better find somebody to love
tears are running ah running down your breast
and your friends baby they treat you like a
guest
don't you want somebody to love
don't you need somebody to love
wouldn't you love somebody to love
you better find somebody to love.
Waiting On A Friend
by Mick Jagger & Keith
Richards
Watching
girls go passing by
It ain't the latest thing
I'm just standing in a doorway
I'm just trying to make some sense
Out of these girls go passing by
The tales they tell of men
I'm not waiting on a lady
I'm just waiting on a friend
A smile relieves a heart that grieves
Remember what I said
I'm not waiting on a lady
I'm just waiting on a friend
I'm just waiting on a friend
Don't need a whore
I don't need no booze
Don't need a virgin priest
But I need someone I can cry to
I need someone to protect
Making love and breaking hearts
It is a game for youth
But I'm not waiting on a lady
I'm just waiting on a friend.

Florida and Australia. I also like BMX, Demolition Derby, Basketball, Baseball and Softball.
* Skateboarding was invented in America a
long time ago. It was popularized mostly in the
early 1960s by Jan
& Dean two surfers and musicians from
California who were later copied by The Beach
Boys [I was tuned into Jan & Dean, surfing
and skateboarding but The Beach Boys did not
really turn me and other hippies on too much].
Since about 1979 Rodney Mullen an
outcast from Gainesville, Florida created most of
the modern skateboard tricks known today. He also
created a style called free style.
