MEANWHILE
Here’s some starnge history from Stash’s own Website!!

They died with a year of one another and Betty Pages’s (d. Dec. 11 at 85) liberated 50’s chick schtick seems to me about 6 degrees from Sky Saxon.
Sunlight Saxon of the Seeds was also a member of The Source family led by Ya Ho Wha or Father Yod. On June 25th at 71, Sky Sunlight Saxon, as they say, “passed over to be with YaHoWha”.
But if you’re not familiar with it - get a load of this history.
The Source was funded by a successful Veggie restaurant. Father Yod (Ya Ho Wha) had been a marine and then a member of the Nature Boys. eden ahbez (no capitals) wrote the song ‘Nature Boy’ and had a hit when Nat King Cole’s recorded it in 1947!

That’s how America discovered the first real hippie/back to nature movement!

Nudists worshipping the Sun, 1926
And its roots were from Germany! From The German Roots of Hippies:
The expression “Lebensreform” (life-reform) was first used in 1896, and comprised various German social trends of the 19th and first half of the 20th century. I mean check it out!!
1. vegetarianism
2. nudism
3. natural medicine
4. abstinence from alcohol
5. clothing reform
6. settlement movements
7. garden towns
8. soil reform
9. sexual reform
10. health food and economic reform
11. social reform
12. liberation for women, children and animals
13. communitarianism
14. cultural and religious reform: i.e. a religion or view of the world that gives weight to the feminine, maternal and natural traits of existence

The one Nature Boy to pass the torch from the old era to the the 1960’s hippie generation was Gypsy Boots.

Gyspy Boots

In the 1940’s Boots lived wild in Tahquitz Canyon with all of the Nature Boys, bathing in the cool mountain water, eating fruits and vegetables, sleeping on rocks or in caves, hiking and selling produce in Palm Springs. In the early 1960’s he appeared on the Steve Allen show over 25 times to an audience of some 25 million households. He appeared as a contestant on Groucho Marx’s TV show You Bet Your Life. He was friends with Kirk Douglas. His son directed the movie Life Drawing.

Thanks Glen Snow:
1. Never start a trio with a married couple.
2. Your manager’s not helping you. Fire him/her.
3. Before you sign a record deal, look up the word “recoupable” in the dictionary.
4. No one cares who you’ve opened for. Read the rest of this entry »
