In my post about the Hippie Habitat ( by the way kids, we never actually called ourselves Hippies ) I left out all the hilarious sex drugs and rock & roll material . I also left out the fact that there were riots in the streets of that Summer of Love. My roomy was in a slightly underground group called the Black Patrol and was carrying a .38 he really didn't know how to use.Speedballs and serious smack showed up on the streets while we were still giggling over our nickle bags,and ( Dragnet music----DUM-DA-DUM-DUM!) looming over all the peasant males: the Draft.As it was, since part of my job was gong to the Bureau of Vital Statistics to verify new births, I made a phoney birth cirtificate as did other girls I ran around with (Mary Grace, Mary Pat, Mary Louise--you catch the drift) and we were feeling quite clever getting into bars (mostly to hear jazz singers like Carl Westmoreland). We thought the other people there were beatniks. We wore black sweaters and skirts and nylons (ugh, those things sucked). We went to the Printer's mass at St. Louis Church, held at 2a.m. Sunday morning when the hot type printers got off work.
WM: My first apartment/room was 1961, long before drugs hit and between the incidents of riots in Cincinnati, thank God. I was such a 'nice Catholic girl from Cincinnati', I doubt I could have kept myself in one piece.
