I am not sure what I'm doing, but I got inspired by reading a blog from Mary Kay about her adventures in the 70's. Made me think about all the things that happened in my life, especially the years of the late 60's and early 70's. Not sure where this will go, but this is my first posting. Born in Florida in '43, early years in Chicago, grew up on Long Island ('49 - '61), New York, went to all the Alan Freed Rock & Roll shows at the Brooklyn Paramount, drank too too much. Moved to Honolulu in '61 to go to college and escape from my Mom. Flunked out (always drunk). Got draft notice, enlisted in Air Force in '65, went back to college under a scholarship in '69, got turned on, stayed stoned for most of the next 11 years. Got clean and sober in 80. Enought for now. Maybe more details later...maybe not. Writing this stuff isn't easy.
