9. got me home at 11pm on fridays. I watched the Bowie show at
my friend's house. A bunch of us dropped acid for that one. I remember that for some reason it was repeated a couple of months later. I stayed sober for that broadcast.
usually I'd be watching Midnight Special in our family room or just outside smoking a joint. ah the 70's
