Kathy got dropped by her boyfriend right about the time I broke up with Kay. We consoled each other.

Stub for the Cincinnati Pop Festival; I went with Kathy. This was Iggy's famous peanut-butter show at the soon-to-be-closed baseball stadium Crosley Field. As we were leaving a police riot broke out and we ran for our lives. People a little slower than us were thrown to the ground and beaten with billy clubs.

The concert was locally televised and years later sold as a bootleg called Midsummer Rock. I remembered making my way down to the stage during the Mountain set; watching the video I saw my high school self grooving to Leslie West.

In senior year I dated a cheerleader (though not one of the girls here). Occasionally there would be a brief connection between the freak world I inhabited and the high-school status quo, though most of these connections didn't last long. Martie on the bottom-right was a friend.
