Not really, I had older cousins bent on trying to turn me into a hippie at a very young age. Yes, in 1968 I was listening to the MC5, Iggy, Iron Butterfly, Donovan, Dylan, Janis, Jimi, the Doors, the original incarnation of Pink Floyd with Sid Barrett... and I wasn't even 10 yet. they wanted me to try some homerolled cigarettes too, but I wasn't going near that, they smelled like burning rope.

Damn, I now feel out dated, yeah....

i believe the proper nomenclature for those would be hi-speed, roll-your-own Left-wing Luckies...but i could be wrong...

Sounds familiar. I had an aunt and uncle that graduated in 1969. The basement, where my brother and sister and I use to over-night, was full of day-glo hippie posters of one sort or another, and the same painted on the walls. . And sometimes it did have a weird, burnt-rope smell, too.

I do wish I had their Beatles posters now!!

CPT Steve-
apologies for the temporal discomfiture, it was unintended.

and why does your description of those items sound eerily like a line from Bugs Bunny.... "Bayou backbay bunny bordelaise, a la Antoine"? (probably not the full quote, but as close as my crippled mind can get this morning - had to take benadryl for allergies)
