It's no secret that drum circles have been crashing the Dolores Park party like a plague of tone-deaf locusts for the last year or two, but Hippie Hill? Is it really getting so bad that the icon of journalistic excellence cannot even discern between the tie-dye gnargle-fest of 1968 Golden Gate Park and the flannel iPhone-party of 2011 Dolores Park?

Trust me. Hipsters have little in common with hippies. Hippies were rich kids who didn't know until it was too late that the cake walk of their youth was about to become the death march of mid-life.

Oh, wait...

Do apathy-soaked hipsters always cream themselves any time D-park is mentioned in a "real" media source? Sad.

Hippie Hill is the park on Haight Street - a steep hill often full of "hippie" druggies
