It has to be the summer of 1989. The whole of the summer actually but hanging out on Elm St in Manchester with all the hot girls, friends, music, alcohol and drugs. What a great summer. I was determined to make that summer MY 1969. Hampton Beach for the fourth of July fireworks while tripping my ass off on some great LSD. Bonfires in the woods with lots of booze and chicks. The height of the “hair band” era and I had the hair. A couple girls were wanna be hairdressers and they would tease my hair up about 8-12 inches off the top of my head and spray the hell out of it with the trusted AquaNet. I couldn’t even sit upright in some cars because it was teased out so much. People on Elm St knew me as “Hair”. I was the first one of anyone I knew to get my nose pierced and I had the chain that went from it to an earring. Ate a whole quart of sliced jalapeno peppers on a dare and drank the juice that they were in. Man that was hot, both coming in and going out later. Monsters of Rock in Oxford Maine was that summer too I think and that is a whole other posting. That was a wild and crazy time to be sure. Ahh the memories.

One Response to “My Favorite Summer Memory”
i like this memory. i like it a lot.
it’s especially interesting because i remember it from the “outside,” i guess you could say. i was 11 years old and we were living on tibbet’s ave in sanford. you came home for a weekend, maybe for your birthday. i can remember the nose/ear chain and sleeveless concert t-shirts (probably iron maiden or megadeth). i remember you brought home your friend rob for a visit and he unplugged my nintendo when i was on the last level of rygar. i even remember the story about the jalepenos. was it subway? taco bell? i remember driving with mom once to pick you up on elm street, though i think that was during a cold month. i remember falling in love with hair bands because you were into them and in my head everything you did was cool. i still have an appreciation for hair bands that none of my friends really seem to share. somewhere i have a picture of you from that time you came home and it’s i picture i think of classically rick.
good times, good memories..
