That 70s Thread

So easy to love, or be open to love then.
Life was ahead. Free and uncomplicated.
God, I was young and naive.

My cousin and best friend, Dawn, who has since died of lupus.

God, I miss her.

How often we went out and ended up getting so drunk and trying to eat breakfast at 3 in the morning.
It was part of the Saturday night rituals like cranking good rock n' roll and flying down the old Peetz highway on a summer night.

I miss you so much sweetheart,
and I'm thinking if only I could of had one more night to say goodbye.

The 70s were some of the best times of my life.
I knew all kinds of people from all backgrounds and learned to grow up in the fast lane.

To think of the 70s brings to mind so many people I knew, Michael being one of them.

He was gay and very tall with an afro and he was a music fanatic collecting music—even more than I did.
He always bragged about owning something like 5,000 albums. I didn't envy him because he lived on the third floor.
His apartment had a wall of albums from floor to ceiling. Can you imagine when he moved?

One day, he came in the studio to ask if he could buy a rare album by the Delfonics, I think we traded something.
But I'll never forget how excited he was to get a copy of whatever it was after he'd looked all over the country for it.
Small memories can be amazing. To this day, whenever I think of the Delfonics, I think of Michael, and his albums,
and the 70s and all the people, and the way life was then.....

...anyway it was a hot summer night around 7 and my friend
Dave and me were headed to a concert downtown.
Jethro Tull and Black Oak Arkansas, I think.
Whatever, it was a shitty concert.

So there we were in his little baby blue
Volkswagon with bout about 3 rolled joints.
We're doing about 75 down the interstate
headed for the auditorium and I'm
lightin' up and we're toking and passing
a joint back in forth...

Pretty soon,

up along his side and
my side, there were the Hells Angels.
Big ol' hogs and they're pointing at
us and trying to get our attention.

Well...

you don't ignore the fuckin' Hells Angels when
you're in a sissy-ass Volkswagon, you know?
And you don't try to outrun 'em or
be a smart-ass when you're 17.
Dave is like, "oh shit...!"
I'm like, "no shit...!"

We rounded the bend on the
interstate with a biker escort that wouldn't
leave and I said, "Maybe we should offer the pot!"
Dave's like, "yeah offer the pot....fast...!!!"

So I lean out my window to offer
a joint to this biker and he moved in right
and takes it..." Then he pulls back,
and starts grinning and kinda high-fives'
it with an okay and Dave gets
a charge out of the deal...and laughs
his ass off...

Okay, I yelled, "give that biker on your side
a joint..."

So Dave reaches out and hands
the biker on his side a joint.

Winds blowing, music's blaring
on a summer night in a little baby blue Volkswagon,
and we're laughing and losing our pot
to the Hell's Angels.

Finally, they pulled in front and
took off with about 10 more of
them behind us, pulling up and around
to take off for the high country,
I suppose.

As for a shitty concert and losing
our pot and damn near our lives,

well,

we just kept on smilin'....
