i'm still wallowing in the aftermath of my 50'th birthday...

please be patient..

when I was about 15 I stumbled upon a hardback copy of
"Play Power: Exploring the International Underground
by Neville, Richard"
in the religious section of our local provincial small town West Country Library..

Big mistake.. it became my furtive adolescent bible
and revolutionary life-style manual..

..and f@cked up any chance I would ever have of good exam grades
and a proper career in a decent local government job..

..about 7 years later when i finally managed to get sorted back out
and sign up for a degree in Humanities
I found a 2nd hand paperback copy..
and on slightly more mature re-reading realised it might actually be quite a cynical piss take on 60's counter culture..

that confused me a bit..

and I spent the 80's trying to be a sensible grown up..


maybe its about time I read it again..

Anyone else care to share their experience of this mental irresponsible book..????
