bro, what's the date. ohhh, no way!
when i lived in santa cruz (NoCal) i sometimes would take the bus up to the UCSC campus making sure i would reach the top of the hill by 4 o'clock. i would do this only when low on cash and, um, goods. with my ears to guide me i would use the twenty minutes to find a proper drum circle where the twirley college hippies would be congregating cross-legged in the meadow,and passing the peace pipe with no discretion. nice company really, always offering a hit and able to pound out a hypnotic groove once the smoke had settled. what a strange town to live in for those few years. things never really changed, day to day, month to month, year to year. all the same. like the clock stopped ticking at some point in '68 and the place hasn't heard a tock since.
