The 70’s were great because no one cared what we did. An ounce of Weed was $35, food and beer was cheap and there was no AIDS. We lived like kings.

There was AIDS in the 70’s but it was called GRID, or “Gay cancer” or “Gay plague”. By about 1977 it was already showing up in the gay community and I actually found some reports on it on youtube.

It was not overly reported back then because it was still mostly in the gay community. It was not until about 1983 when our blood supply was hit that more news started to get out.
