And hippies did not have something important to do and weren't productive? Pffft!
*Glares indignantly*
Actually, there are alot of things hippies and Gandalf had in common:
1) Gandalf sparred verbally with Wormtongue; hippies had words with Tricky Dick.
2) Gandalf smoked pipeweed; hippies had weed-pipes.
3) Gandalf hung around with Dwarves and Hobbits; hippies hung out with Eric Burdon of the Animals, who described himself as 'an over-fed, long-haired leaping gnome'.
4) Gandalf was long-haired, bearded and disheveled; hippies were like that too, only younger.
5) Gandalf once knew every spell in all the tongues of Elves or Men or Orcs; hippies were...ummm...forgetful too.
6) Gandalf took hikes; hippies hitchhiked.
7) Gandalf burned pinecones; hippies burned draft cards.
8) Gandalf helped end the War of the Ring; hippies helped end the Vietnam war.
9) Gandalf was considered a troublemaker and disturber of the peace; hippies? ditto.
10) Gandalf was called Stormcrow by Theoden; Stormcrow? Man, like, what an awesome name for a band!
