...moved out here from the Chicago area in 1976.

Lived right off of Hollywood Blvd at the time some guy changed the Hollywood sign to "HOLLYWEED."

In the early 80s, I was involved in campaigning for legalization in CA.

Hung out with Jack Herer and Ed Rosenthal.

Worked with the California Marijuana Initiative. We organized a July 3-4, 1983 legalization rally on the lawn of the US Federal Bldg on Wilshire Blvd in Westwood.

My band at the time (The Hundredth Monkey) played, along with Black Flag (with Henry Rollins) and a bunch of other bands I can't recall right now.

It was a good time!
