robvisual / A.J. Kaufmann - "Modern Hippie"

"Modern Hippie" smoked a pipe, listened to some Bauhaus, and Rolling Stones, and arrived from The Strange Worlds of A.J. & Rob just in time for a change of times.

The spirit of change is in the air, and we have to adjust ourselves to this spirit - the spirit of the age.

There is war all around us, a war that always takes place somewhere in the world - not only today in Ukraine, but also everyday everywhere. Like in that Leonard Cohen song "There is a War"... between everyone.

So, what does a modern hippie do in such troubled times? Nothing. He reflects on "Born Slippy" released in 1996 and the "Trainspotting" movie with the motto "choose life"... yeah, choose. You still have the on and off buttons, and you can choose to turn it all off.

What will remain? Perhaps Primal Scream which drives our hippie "wild". What is "wild"? Why Primal Scream? Maybe because our hippie saw them on Viva Zwei and liked the psychedelic revival.

Between Hamburg and Poznań, a musical exchange is taking place, that's all I know and all I can report about. The fate of the modern hippie is unknown, but perhaps he is living next door, smoking a pipe, listening to Bauhaus and the Rolling Stones. Adjust me? No, thank you. I'd rather remain a flaw in your system.

I'm a modern hippie
Raised on „Born Slippy”
Spotting trains
For a change
I'm a modern hippie
Flower soul child
Primal Scream
Drives me wild

I'm a thought conductor
At the speed of light
I'm the fall of diamonds
Krishna lullaby
I'm a raw transmitter
Of the hidden truth
Propaganda wheels
Distorting the view
No hidden motion
In nativity

Perfect life form
Born to breed
Kill the virus
Your language is
Modern hippies
Don't give a shit
