Previous | Next :: Self Portrait - Jez Coulson : Flowery Cars and Hippies : NYC | November 18, 2007, 12:45 am

The air hostess on the flight today was giving me my coffee and looking at the image on my laptop screen........... a picture of one of the flower taxis......... she said...........'wow what a wonderful paint job!......Is that your car?'....... I started to mumble something about 'no its Garden in Transit'......... 'children's art project' ........... 'NYC yellow cabs'....... but she was on a roll........ 'Wow I haven't met anybody who paints their car like that for years' ....... 'I once had a boyfriend who...........blah blah" ....... finishing with..... " All Hippies Love Led Zep.......... I bet you love Led Zeppelin...... right?"

Hey..... I suppose its perfectly understandable to equate 'long hair' and 'flowery cars' and 'Led Zeppelin' ......... she's right....... any two or three of these things in confluence ......... you are a hippy....... er......... with that shock realization ......... I recognize a haircut is long overdue......

Cheers..... Love and Peace ....... Jez XX

PS....... Listening to Stairway to Heaven ...... Zep 1V
