I would use expressions as used in Europe like toilet for bathroom, or Spain and a little later Espaņa, as a counter to my culture reputation, hippy demeanor. But to lighten the whole thing up and as a counter-counter to what-all, I would use hippie language.
The hippies created their own language as well, which was mostly positive expressions of experience, all new, dynamic and poetic. Blow your mind, blast, cool and cool-it, be-in, cosmic, flaky, flashback, flip-out, freak-out, get real, hang-up, what's happening, hassle, head trip, hype, Jesus freaks, later, mellow out, out of it, not with it, outtasight, psychedelic, rip-off, mind game, spaced out, strung out, ticked off, trip out, tripping, turn on, uptight, vibes, wasted, way out, wired, put on. I loved the language. It was part of playing the part - faaaaaaaar out !
They had outdoor theater in Greece. I had visited a number of them. Two Winfield was like outdoor theater in a way, the property there in space, and the big windows with the trees to the east, like a tree house. This is a serious study. Why are people so messed up ? That was always there. So who is that ? Who asked that ? Certainly not the artist, or the hippie. The serious me. Sometimes I would go, "What the hell am I dong here ?" So there was more than one me. All these friends of mine, I loved everyone of the them, the women more than the men of course. Were not they me and I they ? We were making our lives on the spot. It was living. And the serious scientist me, did not manipulate the situation for pre-drawn conclusive analysis.
