Things got a bit awry without the parental units around is all I'll admit to. But one of the worst was half the girls soccer team drank to much and we had an 8am practice the next day. It was 90 degrees out and we had to run two miles mid practice because we were doing so bad, for obvious reasons. Everyone started getting sick. I think the coach thought he was killing us all from heat exhaustion because he stopped practice and told us to go home and drink lots of water. I swore I would never drink another drop EVER! That didn't work out to well either.
It was 72-73...very early in what was unfortunately to become the drug culture and evolve into crack, meth and oxyheads
Noone really knew what kids were up to and they though pot smelled like oregano..the quality of pot then being rather low...some dads still sported Santini like flat tops and there was a definite us and them mentality...however an immature notion
and all the crazy stuff just kind of peaked at just the right time for me....the few years right before Dazed and Confused when it became cliche and Kiss (yuck) arrived
I cannot deny I did not have a fun and managed to get a degree and all that...with ups and downs ...and no, I don’t even smoke pot anymore not since 1984 but I’m not super anti pot and i would prefer my own kids not be stoners
We thought we were rebelling..acting out what we were seeing on TV in youth culture...we were only practicing youthful hedonism..not really complicated just in a very unrescricted window of time before folks got their senses back as to why we have certain cultural views about behavior in the first place
the music time capsule of late 60s thru early 70s is argubaly the pinnacle of rock...incredible...so glad I got to live it live time...it was a special era in that regard
