This was a different era, all those comments from people who didn't live it, can never understand the freedoms we had, their was fun, craziness and danger...but the music and dance brought all different people together. People weren't so violent, regular people didn't commit these violent crimes or fight the way they do today. They were just trying to make it, to live.

I thought Koch was great. Imperfect but great. He was very direct and NY was an absolute mess there. When I describe things I had to deal with in Manhattan in the Lower East Side daily, trying to get to work and get heat and hot water, people think I am exaggerating. Hallucinating! Koch reminded us at the time to stand up and be true NYers and not accept any crap.

It is not too bad in some places. Just last week I bought a gram of weed at a head shop in the lower east side from the guy behind the counter and walked around smoking a joint with some friends and there were no problems from the police or anybody. We walked by several others doing the same thing. Still no freedom like there was in the 70s but compared to a lot of other cites I have been to I felt like I could get away with a lot more stuff.
