Born in the mid 50s. I grew up in the S f Bay Area during the 60s and 70s. Lots happening music wiseand culture wise. I saw many a free show in Golden gate Park, Winterland, Frost Stanford, Greek Berkley. Saw the orignal Sanatana bands, hundreds of Dead shows, great time, great place to grow up in. I remember B inns as well. The civil rights movment exploded, I recall seeing white only signs in my fathers Texas Home town.
We were protesting the war at Stanford Univ., can still remember getting gassed and chased by police, lots of fun rasing hell.
Back then somkin mj was a slap in the face of the establishment.
We all shared. Sacks were called lids and sold for 10 bucks. great hash was 5 bucks a gram. A hit of orange sunshine pure LSD sold for $1.50 a 1/4 hit lasted 10 hrs.. Gas was around $1.29 gallon, 6 pack of Coors 12 oz bottles also $1.29, $1.99 for talls.
As kids we have several forts set up for drinking and smoking, I had a charge account at 16 yrs old at the local liquor store. Drove a $100.00 61 Ford falcon Station wagon
We would attend SF Giants baseball games, drink heavly. We would chuck 12 packs of beer over the fence from outside Candelstick, bring in a cooler with ice only, buy 1 vendor beer for cup and drink at least 15 to 20 beers per game.
As a kid I saw Wille Mays, Orlando Cepeda, Juan Marichal, Willie Mcovey, Bobby Bonds, saw a no hitter pitched by Dodger Oral Hershiser, lots of great memories at the windy Candelstick.
Still puffin away, my 1st tokes were 10/31/1970. That date is carved into fence post still to this day at my chidhood home...
What a long great trip its been, and the best is yet to come!!!!
