Chapter Two

Same but different.

Jay always professed himself to be my brother, but he was no brother of mine. Mother died without me giving her credit for her perception of my so-called best friend, whom I considered my brother. She had constantly hammered at me, ‘He is no good; lose him.’ Hard-headed as I was, I stuck with him to the edge of calamity. We were inseparable, as tight as Abbott and Costello, and in almost every class together. After school, we took the Number Four train, where we did our homework to Forty-second Street. From there, we walked to 666 5th Ave, where we worked full-time at a five-star restaurant. There, we jockeyed positions as pastry chefs and grill chefs.

Going to school and working full-time was very taxing, but we didn’t care; it put good money in our pockets which allowed us to dress like pimps and party like we were rich and famous. Besides textbooks, we only read Gentleman’s Quarterly, the leading fashion magazine for men,  Ebony and Jet magazines. We dressed G.Q. going to school; we wouldn’t be caught dead with holes in our jeans; only the poor haters came to school with holes in their clothes. We dressed better than our teachers, who thought we were uppity; we were hated by blacks and whites, all thinking that we were uppity and drug dealers. We had the most extraordinary weed connections; one worked for the airlines and traveled the world; we smoked a lot of it but never sold any.

About the Author
In the timeless words of Henry Brooks Adams, “A teacher affects eternity; he can never tell where his influence stops.” Embracing this profound wisdom, I believe that a life well-lived is one marked by the continuous exchange of knowledge and wisdom. As the author, I echo the sentiment that if you’ve journeyed through life without imparting something meaningful to the next generation, be it through teaching or learning, you’ve merely existed, not truly lived. Through my writings, I aspire to contribute to the tapestry of wisdom, leaving an imprint that resonates beyond the confines of time. I have written over five hundred Blogs, many dealing with Parenting, Relationships and Safe Driving with the hope that someone will benefit from them. Facebook inspired me to start writing, my first Blog sixty words long was posted on Facebook. From that day on I knew that Social media was a tool to share Knowledge. In the process of writing this Book, I have learned that you can face life, no matter what it throws at you. It’s all about resiliency of the human spirit.

One Publisher wanted two thousand Dollars to Design the Cover. I did this on my own, How am I doing? In the Authors Circle, the Terminology “Ugly Baby” means that you are the only one who thinks that your Book is Good. Then again; if you don’t believe in yourself, who will?

This Book,”Shakes, rattle and rolls into another Dimension of confrontation with the Government, the School System, the Church and Society. Then it challenges the voracity of Hate, and rolls into a call to love each other, with a Religious overtone. I’m the product of the Hippie Culture. I saw Gracie Slick at her best in Central Park, in the middle of the day and the middle of the week. seventy thousand of us Free-Spirited Jefferson Starship lovers played Hooky.

Music is the message and the message is in the music

Title: The Transformative Power of Music: A Journey Through My Musical Landscape

Today, we mourn the loss of Steve Harwell, whose hit record “All Star” with Smash Mouth became an iconic anthem. His creativity has left an indelible mark on the music industry, and I’m forever grateful for his contributions. As I reflect on my lifelong love for music, I find that it has been a guiding force in my journey, shaping my perspective on life and inspiring me to explore themes of love, empathy, and understanding in my upcoming book, “Through Her Eyes/Revised.”

From a young age, I was immersed in a rich tapestry of musical genres. Motown’s soulful melodies, the harmonious tunes of The Dells and The Delmonico, and the electrifying rock performances by legends like The Rolling Stones, Jimi Hendrix, and The Who all played a pivotal role in shaping my musical palate. Bob Marley’s reggae rhythms and Pink Floyd’s mind-bending psychedelic soundscapes awakened my senses, while Nit zinger and Lucifer’s Friend introduced me to the world of underground rock. Chick Corea’s jazz explorations, Janis Joplin’s raw and impassioned voice, and Jefferson Airplane’s countercultural anthems expanded the horizons of my musical journey. The masterful bass of Stanley Clarke and the iconic riffs of Led Zeppelin left a lasting imprint on my soul.

One particular day stands out in my memory—a day when Jefferson Starship graced Central Park with their performance. It became a magical gathering for the counterculture community, bringing together seventy thousand flower children who temporarily abandoned school and work to bask in the liberating energy of the music. Gracie Slick’s haunting question, “Don’t you want somebody to love, don’t you need somebody to love,” reverberated through the park, creating an atmosphere of unity and love. In that moment, the power of music transcended barriers, leaving no room for hate or division.

On that special day, people of all persuasions, including police officers, coexisted harmoniously and celebrated each other’s presence. The shared experience united us all, bridging gaps between communities. It was a testament to the incredible ability of music to bring people together, fostering a sense of understanding and empathy that transcended the boundaries of race, class, and ideology.

My upcoming book, “Through Her Eyes/Revised,” delves into the topic of hate in America and beyond. It’s a powerful message that underscores the urgent need for love, empathy, and understanding in a world too often divided by differences. Music, as I’ve experienced it throughout my life, serves as a poignant reminder of the transformative power of art to break down barriers and build bridges between people from all walks of life. It is a testament to the fact that, as Gracie Slick once sang, we all want somebody to love and need somebody to love, and through music, we can find common ground to foster a more compassionate world.
