I wasn't joking about Mountain Ocean River either. I picked up a stoner hitchhiking in the late '70s who was so proud of his new legal name that he pulled out his driver's license to show me it was true, not that I'd asked.
He coincidentally was headed to San Juan Ridge, where Governor Moonbeam had a hide-away back when he was hanging out with Linda Ronstadt. The Ridge was where all the pot heads and growers hung out back then. It was basically what all of California eventually became, before all the Pachecos and Emanuels took over.
Truth be told the dudes were behind on their dues and the cops were getting tired of empty promises.
ReplyDeleteDang California hippies. All their long hair and dope ruining my little piece of paradise. Mountain Dew and Crystal meth is all we needed to get by...
ReplyDeleteDidn't bother to read the article before commenting, huh?
DeleteI don't know too many long haired hippies named Pacheco Esquivel or Emanuel Garcia.
Pacheco Esquivel or Emanuel Garcia. Modesto, Baby.
DeleteNow, if they'd been from the Emerald Triangle they'd have been Mountain Ocean River and Sunshyne Ashrinami.
My buddy David up in Mendocino County played around with a 2nd generation hippie girl named TreeLym. I'm not fucking Joking.

TreeLym, I like it! :-) Have to keep that in mind for the next time I get a cat... I wouldn't do that to a dog.
DeleteMaybe they were just there to get away from hurricane Hillary.
ReplyDeleteDon't forget the envious bald assholes always going on about people who can still grow hair...
