While I rowed them around the lake in a rented paddle boat, I received my education in what to look for inmusic and life. 'Listen,' Monk said to Elmo, 'we're moving through the waterin 4/4 time and the birds are singing 6/8 to it.' I stopped rowing and listened; I've been listening ever since. |

Health | During the 1960s, PCP in pill form became widely abused, but the surge in illicit use receded rapidly as users became dissatisfied with the long delay between taking the drug and feeling its effects, and with the unpredictable and often violent behavior associated with its use. Powdered PCP - known as "ozone," "rocket fuel," "love boat," "hog," "embalming fluid," or "superweed" - appeared in the 1970s. In powdered form, the drug is sprinkled on marijuana, tobacco, or parsley, then smoked, and the onset of effects is rapid. (references) | |
