I once smoked a joint with Peter Fonda.

Univ Hawaii Honolulu November 1970 - he came to speak at the outdoor theater, I suppose because of the fame of Easy Rider which had been released earlier that year. When he was finished, and the crowd left, about 6 of us invited him to sit in the grass there and talk and share some weed. He came across as a regular Joe. Oh those days of the Woodstock brotherhood - how painful to think how wrong we were.

Just about sums up my life. Fortunately I changed heading around the age of 22.

Once sex could kill you, the whole 70's thing wasn't so appealing anymore.

There are even more drugs being abused today. They just come with a copay and a plastic bottle from an institutional drug pusher, who unlike your pusher in the 70's, is more than happy to feed the stuff to your children. Heck the school demands it!

" ... how painful to think how wrong we were."

A most powerful statement to we whom survive.
