Being that I grew up in the 60's and played in a band (Uther Pendragon) that performed with many 60's iconic bands in the San Francisco Bay Area, it seemed like I was destined to write this song. Although I had the long hair, the bell bottom pants, and wanted peace (who didn't), I never forgot what was most important to me. That was my family. After playing together and living like a family for more than 10 years my old band broke up. I married my then girlfriend, Darlene. We had three children and I temporarily gave up my music dream, got an 8 to late job, and worked my way up the corporate ladder. I retired with a fantastic pension, a happy wife, and I couldn't be prouder of our three children. However, before I retired from my "day job" I did some thinking about my roots; and my roots went back to my days as a musician performing in the 60's. I missed those days and missed playing with my band mates. I discovered that the lead player in my old band also yearned to be creating and playing music again. And so in 2005 BAD DADDY was formed. "Hippie From the 60's" is a representation of me getting back to my roots. - Mark R. Lightcap
