Summer 83

The news footage from Harrisburg is classic.  Many of the people getting interviewed seem dosed.  

The 6-20 MPP show two nights earlier was my first.

Looking at the Harrisburg footage today, I can see how parents might have had some concerns about their kids running off to join some cult.

WHTM coverage:  my son "suckintime"?

Man, those Merriweather shows were it.  We finally got some summer shows close to home.

City Island was fun but so-so.  It was a dust bowl and the tapers were having a hard time keeping their rigs clean.

Sex and drugs and feelin free....were the class of 83

I saw it all in the summer of 1983 and most of it up close.
