Maybe so, but some of us ex-hippies have grown up/older.

Did I ever tell you what having hair down to about 6 inches above my waist did to my Navy 4-striper father?

I'm guessing Navy 4-striper's experience was similar to my Doctor (Surgeon) father's dealing with my long hair, Fu Manchu mustache and glazed eyes.

I have to admit, while my parents were not wild about the hair that actually touched my beltline back in the day, they handled it all in stride.

In the early 70s, my dad's hair was longer than mine. Of course, I was a midshipman at USNA. EVERYBODY'S hair was longer than mine.

Me, too. My dad's hair was longer than mine, only its because I was just a toddler. I missed out on those hazy, crazy 70s.
