REPRESENTATIVE QUOTE: “The summer of 1971, I was living with some buddies from high school and college, in La Jolla (most of us went to UCSD). One day Bob and I were returning from driving up to Del Mar to score a lid, and up on the mesa just north of the campus we saw a hitchhiker…[another 100 words never mentioning Garcia or the Dead] sampled the freshly acquired herb, and got down to the serious business of entertainment. We were planning to see the Dead that night, so we made a special trip to downtown San Diego to get a ticket for Jonathan. This entire encounter more or less confirmed me on the hippie path. I don’t remember much about that show.”
