Description
I dropped out. No TV, radio or newspapers. Totally immersed in street culture; no crimes committed, but was there to experience a "contact high". Faught pimps, White Slavery, drug dealers and stick-up possies. I won every weekly fight, except one with an '85 Buick Riviera. Hospitalized for 4 months. Still walking around 22 years later.
