I remember Bobbie Kennedy being killed. I can still see (in my head) his wife and the flag covered coffin.

Tower Records, black lights, Mr. Natural-"just passin through". Indian brass incense burners. I-Ching. Hairy girls sans bras. Followed by: not so hairy, beautiful girls, looking for attention, sans bras. California girls, Beach Boys. Rock and Roll. Real soul music. Cars with muscle and style to match.

Backyard trash burners. In traffic, air so thick with unburned hydrocarbons, lighting a match was risky. Beautiful sunsets.

Playboy magazine, locking bathroom doors, cigarettes, more beautiful sunsets.

The Lovin' Spoonful, Spoonful by Cream. Anything by Cream. "Are you Experienced?" Hendrix, Clapton, and Jeff Beck. Psycodelics. Paisleys. San Franscisco. Surf's up. Brian Wilson. Fender guitars. Woodies, Playboy magazine, more woodies. Beautiful sunsets.

Janis Joplin with Big Brother and the Holding Company. Huge concerts. Volume. Sound. Broken eardrums. "Take a piece of my heart away". Ten Years After. "what?", breath-taking sunsets.

Don't bogart that joint. Land on moon. "I should'a shot your ass in 'Nam". LBJ all the way! America, love it or leave it. First bumper sticker: "I found it". Sunset again.
