A further point about Newton Faulkner

A further point about Newton Faulkner. Here's a picture of him. This is Newton Faulkner.

Back in the day, in fact as recently as last month, Newton Faulkner would have been excommunicated from mainstream society and branded 'a hippy' or 'a weird dirty hippy with ginger dreadlocks'.

But now he's being heralded as 'the next big artist' just because he's got an acoustic guitar. When did being a hippy with an acoustic guitar cease being laughable and become admirable?

I'm not against hippies, per se, but I think I probably am against hippies in mainstream popular culture.

It's all wrong.
