Setup: the Sixties | Farmola
https://farmola.wordpress.com/2008/04/01/setup
April 1, 2008 at 9:22 pm ( Uncategorized. I was there through the Sixties. I remember them. I was a white middle class kid who started junior high school in 1960 and graduated from college in 1970. My youth lives in my memory as a catalog of TV shows, characters and incidents. When I watched coverage of JFK’s assassination and funeral, it was on a black and white TV. During the summer of ’65 I was a curb waiter at a drive-in burger shop. The theme songs blaring from car radios included. But my close frie...

April 4, 2008 at 3:00 pm ( before. The trip to LA took 3 nights and most of 3 days. Somewhere in the California desert I consumed what would be the last animal flesh that would pass my lips for as long as I would spend with Stephen and his followers. I wolfed down a hamburger without ceremony. But was I really like these people? I’d been in Europe then, and had decided that being there must have been the superior planetary experience.

We’d agreed not to leave immediately, to give time for people without a ride to find a bus to ride with. Anita and I had been looking forward to travel. 8220;You people can’t stay here. This isn’t a legal campground.”. One evening as I was alone in the bus, there came a knock on the door. I opened it and found myself facing four men weari...

On April 6th, we reached the outskirts of Nashville as snowflakes were falling. Snow in April in the south? I followed the parade onto the exit ramp but when I took my foot off the gas and pressed the clutch to slow for the stop light, the engine kept revving. 8220;What the fuck! I can’t slow the engine down! 8220;Not so much. Just feather it a little.”. I borrowed some tools, and ...
