very funny story Bullfrog
I remember those times too, walking into a public place
thinking everyone knew you were stoned.
Most of the time no one had a clue.
Being a fellow deadhead I'm sure you and I would get along famously.
I prefer the music from that era over most of the new stuff
Didn't go to Woodstock,a little before my time.
Here's a story:
Three of us went to an outdoor concert mid 70's
The line-up was Steppenwolf, Iron Butterfly, Rare Earth, The Guess Who, and..... Tommy James
The crowd was 90% bikers and there were drugs galore.
Since it was festival seating we got there early to get close to the stage
As soon as we got there my brother and I dropped acid
There was a HUGE biker sitting directly in front of us.
His t-shirt bore the sign "caution high on cocaine" and on the back it said "don't "F" with me.
The pot smoke cloud was enormous and we all were very high
When the dry mouth set in my friend broke out some bubble gum and we all tore into it.
While grooving to the music and dancing around, my gum flew out of my mouth.
Never saw where it landed.
The first band was done and in between acts everyone sat down on the lawn.
Well some how that huge biker ended up sitting on my lost bubble gum.
The next band came out so we all stood up again. Thats when I saw where my gum had gone.
It was all over that bikers backside and thanks to the acid it appeared to be stretching from the ground
up to his back and waving in time with the music almost with a life of it's own. It was like he had a big pink tail
Thankfully the biker never even knew what was going on and probably too stoned to care anyway.
I'm not condoning the use of illegal drugs but it was something I did in my youth and have no regrets
