Angel's Back in The Daze Tales
Memories From Quincy CA.
I met a really cool spearite from Quincy CA at a spearhead concert and talking with her brought back some cool memories of when I lived there in 1974.
Getting to Quincy you go up the beautiful Feather River Canyon. This canyon road is unbelievable; gorgeous rivers, mountains and trees. So me and a few of my hippie friends used to go to this really cool swimming hole where peeps swam in the nude; skinny dipping. It was so great there. People of all ages bathed in the sun and felt free; Mother's, fathers, children and grandparents.
So one time I'm just all kicked back feeling great and loving the sun. I'm just being there feeling fine and high. No one bothers you. Everyone is mellow.
So all of a sudden we hear this music by Santana and these two dudes that look just like Cheech and Chong (out of a Cheech & Chong movie) drive right up to the river in their low-rider. They're making all kinds of noise and disturbing everyone. The two dudes are going up to the women sun bathers and saying shit like "Hey mama, you got some nice titties." Everyone is irritated and feeling self-conscious. These guys are totally out of control. They come over to me and start making rude remarks.
Then, it's so funny cause these 4 hippie long haired dudes (totally naked) go over to the Cheech and Chong dudes and literally pick them up and carry them back to their car. Man, I am laughing so hard. The hippie dudes tell the dudes to either be respectful or split. Well, Cheech and his friend get pissed and flip us all off. It was just one of the funniest things that I've ever seen.
Anyway that's just one story I have from "back in my hippie daze".
