well, I was a Catholic schoolboy at the time. The god references (see also "Sweet Cherry Wine") were pretty apparent to me. And to the nuns. And Mr James found Jeebus around this time.

uber-BOS2 "Atlantis", which the Peak played in their (May) 1969 set yesterday. Another one I never tire of. Sing & dance & ring in the new, my antedeluvian bay-bee!

What about the Newport Jazz Festival?  And that's just off the top of my head... surely
there are earlier folk music hootenanies, country music jamborees, etc.  Just another
sign of the lack of musical perspective from those kids who are running the radio station
these days.  Grumble, grumble.

I have no problem with Christianity; I think it's great.  It's the so-called Christians that are the
problem.  99.9% of them either have no clue what their professed religion is about, don't
practice it, or both.

There was a period of the late '60s when people were very open to all religions, both Eastern and
Western, as part of a genuine spiritual exploration.  Popular culture manifestations of that included
Godspell and Jesus Christ Superstar.  As with other pursuits, some people took it to excess ("Jesus
freaks, out in the streets"), some dropped it, some integrated it into their life and moved on.

It's got a lot of speed in it, so you get anxious and wired instead of getting high.

I'm not intimately acquainted with the chemistry, but as I understand it, LSD and/or some of its
precursors are in the methamphetamine family.  So if the proportions aren't sufficiently accurate
during manufacture one will have a higher percentage of speed and similar molecules in the
final product.  If my memory is correct, a little arsenic is another contaminant, which wll result
in minor joint pain -- kind of like being mildly arthritic.  These by-products can also appear when
old LSD breaks down if it is not stored properly, i.e., away from heat and light.  A freezer or
refridgerator is the obvious choice, and doing so can extend the shelf-life for many years.
Not that I know anything about this personally, you understand.  Er, um, a friend told me about it.

There's another great quote from Woodstock that I think is even better.  It's from Grace Slick,
and I may not have the exact words correct, but she says:
"Sorry about the people that got the brown.  We got a whole lot of the orange.  And it was fine.
And it still is fine."

Since you said you went to Fordham, I gotta ask:  did you go to a private (and presumably

I did the Papal Triple Crown: 9 years Catholic grammar school (includes kindergarten), 4 years Catholic high (taught by Marist Brothers) and 4 years Fordham (Jesuits). No wonder I'm an atheist!

As it happens I'm doing some writing about it at the moment so it's been much on my mind and any set from '69-to-'73 gets my creative juices flowing.

Given the endpoints I figured the middle of that arc was a given.

I went to public grade schools, but then attended a Catholic high school.  Many of my classmates
went to parochial schools, and one of my buddies went to Fordham.  I visited him there once, but
I don't remember much about the place other than the street scene in the Bronx walking from the
subway stop.  I blame drugs.  (grin)

It was the '75-'76 school year... I know it wasn't in the winter.  I'm pretty sure it was fall '75,
