> I've had a few thoughts swirling in my head as of late for fic ideas that I think are drawing on stuff. 
that process is for sure the most mysterious and thrilling one that defines a story. Having visions about feels like you are watching a movie for you that isn´t even painted clearly. Somehow, when you get to write the story, it feels like you are cheating because you are wording what you see in your head. 

> It becomes boring after a certain point, not saying that some of LSD inspired stuff isn't fanstastic but most of it was this cycle of addiction and depression and death depeding on the drug
basically, an artificial need of them in order to keep yourself active with the price of doubling the downturn that would come afterwards.
> Speaking of the 1970s drug scene, Lynyrd Skynyrd had a song specifically about that point in about the state of things at that time in music and themselves . 
the 70s were a weird period actually, especially after the middle of that decade in which people complained about lots of things in terms of music consumption (disco, punk movement, no wave....and tons tons of f*yay* drugs that affected almost all the artists out there even ones like Nico or Bowie ).
It´s almost confusing, like that period was mostly dedicating their work to drugs and weird hallucinations that came in their heads. Sure, other decades were more explicit and more direct to that topic but not as much as the 70s in terms of dealing with them. I didn´t live them but in retrospective, young people were pretty encouraged to taste them for the sake to know what pleasure those substances offered to them.

 as for the band, the record of that song in particular had released before they had the  airplane crash that would change the spirit of the band forever

All in mind, it´s scary to think a little bit deeper. Sure one condemns one self about what he could have done for the best, but as for the worst case scenarios, one has to appreciate that one passed the test. 

I suppose that´s a silent victory which nobody will remember.

> he and his brothers were just wild kids. They'd do all kinds of stuff 
you tell me, there were a couple of brothers that were marginalized because they caused fear to all the school  and they were gypsies of course.
 
 and there are people defend Cozy´s intentions with the arguments of children not being intentionally evil...
 
> and where one of several neighbors that were a bit wild that I knew and not the ones that I worry bout moved away, along with several other families that cuasd most of the gang trouble in the neighborhood. 
goddammit, what a mess. That sounds like it brought tensions around that period. Also it was the 70s, an era in which a recognized city like New York had pretty high crime rates around that time and the communication and entertainment wasn´t very present.

What you are telling me isn´t all that desirable honestly.
