The sixties and 70s were a screwed up time. I lived though it and like being at Woodstock, I don’t remember much. I guess Bowie found out the same thing...you can’t burn the candle at both ends or you’ll wind up like (pick one. Hendrix, Morrison, Jollin, ad nauseum)
Weed is being more accepted now and on the verge of being legal. That is the #1 screwing up drug there is. And nowadays nobody cares that much. Use has declined anyone’s interest in things really. Look at the space program, entertainment, everything. Very dulled out now.
