heart sank when I got to the bit about heroin ... (that stuff just crippled so many lives)
But, those were the times .. and an honest accounting.

( Oh - and bell bottoms were, and are, perfectly ridiculous. Both then and now. But, glad to hear that the innovator that promoted and popularized - really got the ball rolling ... Actually made a little money off of the idea. A just result - and a bit of a rarity? )
