" I was consuming three bottles of wine...every day...Grace Slick "

Sandy Pearlman was the first longhair I ever made friends with. It was 1965 and he was president of the student government at the State University of New York at Stony Brook on Long Island. He got me to run for freshman class president. He told me about Vietnam, Negroes, the Rolling Stones and LSD. When our leftist government was swept out of office the next year, Pearlman's last official action was to appoint me chairman of the student activities board for the following year, a position I held for about three years, controlling in excess of $100,000 a year for concerts, dances, lectures, athletics, etc.
