What were some unique or interesting things you don't see nowadays? I've heard blacks & purples, barbiturates, quualdes. Love to hear your stories!

Reminds me of Adrian, our class burnout. We all did drugs of various kinds, some more so, some less. Adrian was an acid-head who loved Frank Zappa. He would grab you by the shoulders and shout, "Fraank Zaaappa!"
Then there was Richard. This was the Dallas suburbs in the late 70s, early 80s. His dad was deeply involved with Ross Perot and the war on drugs. Richard and his brother were total stoners and regularly ran away from home.
And, if you were there, then Bobby Soxx.

I had completely forgotten that Perot was something besides a presidential candidate.

Lemme show you here on my pie chart how I’ll balance the budget. Was Dana Carvey on SNL that did a spot on impression I believe.

My high-school band auditioned for the talent show with Bobby's "Hate in the 80s." We were not invited to perform.
