1969.
So this is the age of Aquarius, riots in the streets, hippies.
I never saw a hippie.
There were bell bottoms.
And I'm a 12-year-old kid.
Shortly after that, my dad passed away.
We moved there for him to run a part of the family.
He worked for another part of our family's big corporation, a big department store.
And he died.
So now... How did he die?
He just had a fluke heart thing and, you know, instantly.
Like one day he was with me and next day they wheel him out and it's the last I ever saw of him, you know.
So that's traumatic as a kid, right?
So Frankie turns me on to smoking weed.
And then the next thing I do is take a quarter hit of Orange Sunshine.
Because, you know, it's a gateway drug, so the next drug was acid.
What's orange?
I don't even know what orange is.
Oh, orange sunshine was acid.
Oh, okay.
