When I was 16 I quit school. It was 1966 and I was going to run off to California and join a rock band. But I let my father and high school principal intimidate me into staying. If there was one thing I could change I woulda headed out on the highway that day. I'm 74. It has been a miserable worthless existence. Ya gotta follow your dreams. Even if it kills ya.

Please explain to me how at the time, you thought that you could avoid the draft if you ran off to California and were obviously no longer enrolled in school, considering that Vietnam was in high gear in the late `60's?

@swirlie I've been deaf in my left ear since I was 11.

...which means you can still hear with 20/20 acuity in your right ear, correct?
