  • So a bit of a story because I think it’s important to share what an older generation thought of these things.

    I had an uncle, Vietnam vet, who was, as he described it, part of the ‘freak’ movement/ culture. It was a counter culture movement of the 60s and 70s, a kind of place to hold people who might not have been hippies, but roundly rejected “square” society. Think Cheech and Chong. Think Hunter S Thompson.

    His turn of phrase was “let your freak flag fly”, as in , do things to demonstrate to society you are not interested and do not seek their approval.
