Sid's Place - Tom Calder's Life Underground in the Psychedelic Sixties of California.

<p>I wrote this <strong>Sid's Place</strong> book a long time ago.  One of my motives for writing this book was to explore how things might have gone for me under different circumstances especially regarding murder.  Like Tom I got busted in my van but I hung around and got a lucky break when my Uncle offered to take me in in St. John's Newfoundland.  My friend went to jail I was exiled to Newfoundland. (That was 1970.  I spent two years hitchhiking from the Canadian Pacific to Atlantic Oceans.)</p><p> </p><p>Another motive for writing this book was to explore the possible error of my passivity.  Somehow I take a quiet pride in the fact I have not killed anyone and despite opportunities and good reasons still decided not to.  In this story I pushed myself to the limit where I would take a life purposefully.  Better my imagination than reality.</p><p>As for the drug tripping I explored that plenty in reality or different realities.  I've got a lot more of those stories to tell.</p><p> </p><p>So enjoy a glimpse of my teenage world.  Sadly as civilization seems to be heading toward less love and more war you can see a generation that fought this trend of violence.</p><p> </p><p>Love<br>Coyote</p>
