The Cannibal Queen
“Remember them? They renounced materialism, republicans, corporations and soap, and dedicated their lives to cheap drugs and free love. Their fate is one of the minor mysteries of our time. You’ve probably puzzled about it.
They moved to Boulder, Colorado, the little city where I live.
An endangered species in most parts of America, they are quite common in Boulder and seem to thrive here. Balding, graying, with varicose veins bulging above their Birkenstocks, they can be seen on street corners ...and in restaurants and espresso coffee shops all over town. They also like to hang out on the Pearl Street pedestrian mall, which is perhaps the best place for tourists to observe these creatures in a natural habitat.
Not everyone in Boulder is an aging hippie, of course. Humans could not survive here if that were true. But the hippies with their drug-fried synapses and political lobotomies give the town a distinctive tone that we locals have a phrase to describe. When you see something really screwy or kinky, you nod knowingly and say how “very Boulder”MoreLess
