No fair. That was 1969. Nobody remembers 1969. You'll have to excuse me.
I got old there for awhile but I'm younger now. I'll have to introduce
my self.

I'm picking up
"A problem from hell" : America and the age of genocide on Tue. from
the library. Haven't finished "Omnivore's Dilemma" yet, so I bought a
copy. With the library, it is hurry up and wait.

Thanks for both introductions Bill.

I remember 1969, but don't remember much after that.

The Summer of Love was 1967; fortunately I was too young
to fully enjoy the festivities, but I did get to see The Dead
and The Airplane play for free in Golden Gate Park. Janis Joplin
was living in the Haight and still driving a car with a bad starter.
Friends would have to help her push the car so she could bump-start it.

When she finally made some money, the salesman at the Mercedes dealership
tried to run her off. He thought she was a deadbeat hippie, until she
pulled cash money out of her pocket and raised a rukus for someone to
sell her a goddamned car. *smile*

Jan, who didn't always live in Alaska
