Honestly, I believe Andy didn't partake. He was just naturally wired.

That was what my walmart looked like growing up. I was born in 92 but I feel like I got the last real taste of freedom in my childhood. I remember riding in the back of the Cadillac going to McDonald's in the morning, or not going to school and getting donuts. Shit was way different back then.

Wow that’s cool. So your pops was likely alongside those guys. Enduring the same hardships. It’s a crazy story. How crossing the island to defend Port Moresby they had to cross malaria ridden jungles from hell then cross over a 10,000 ft mountain range with ice, snow and freezing temps. Then back down into a ferocious battle so sick and weary they could barely fight.

PMII played baseball in college too, but decided to focus on football, which seems like a good decision.

I was really hoping he’d show up as Letterman’s last guest.

He was pretty adamant that he didn’t do drugs. Maybe I shouldn’t believe him but I do.

I think that’s mentioned in the book too. But the book is really great describing the conditions and hardships. Great read.

Hendrix opened for the Monkees on tour, before moving to England. He came back with the soft machine (but no Daevid Allen) opening for him on tour.
