Now and then you will hear about someone involved in a normally dry, "respected" position (such as doctor, professor, accountant, etc.) that was a former “Deadhead” and that’s supposed to somehow make them cooler because they wear tie-dye t-shirts to the office and use words like “groovy.” More often though you will find the former “heads” in dry, non-respected positions (such as smoothie store cashier, toll-booth operator, library janitor [or another position that tolerates nappy hair and the occasional flashback]) and you are supposed to somehow feel sympathy for their poor situation because they rock peaceful bumper stickers on their Geo Metros.
