(childhood perceptiveness perhaps.) The dirty hippie part probably came one day when we were all watching Woodstock and I kept doing my Eric Cartman impression. If you watch South Park you know what I mean.

Close, but "Jeff Spicolli" is a little too socialized to be a hippie. You know, integrated into society. My friend is actually an ex surf-hippie since he now has a house & family, etc..., but one of his old buddies is quintessential. This guy is an electrician by trade, and works in the San Diego area just enough every year so he can afford to bum around Costa Rica and surf for the rest of the season. When he runs out of money he comes back and does a few more jobs.

Buck throwing the monitor was the only part of that on the actual VH1 broadcast, of course. And that was much better than the full-jam close with "People Have the Power" that they did air, most likely because it had Hagar, Anthony, Keith Richards, etc up playing & singing as well. Hagar and Patti Smith embracingly sharing a mic was an interesting visual though. Actually, whenever I hear Sammy talk, I always kinda feel bad I don't really like anything he's done all that much because he always seems like a really nice guy. Scott Weiland's David Lee Roth impression is actually worse than the Eddie Vedder, Chris Cornell, David Bowie, and Axl Rose impressions that he's used as a career, frighteningly enough. And Keith Richards is seemingly adding one of the weedy little mustaches like Dylan now has to his crazy old man image. "Children have always enjoyed my movies.
