DRAGNET a Police drama from 1967 is about LSD use in Los Angeles. This was the first time COLOR television was used in the DRAGNET series... the show was black and white until the scene where people took LSD and then it switched to COLOR!

at the same time Buffalo Springfield wrote it's "For What it's Worth" song about teenage riots in LA.

and Biff Rose wrote "Buzz the Fuzz" and I can see the characters from the TV Show playing the parts of Buzz and Alice D.

No memorable motorcycle cops in the TV Show but... what if... Jack Webb was Buzz?

The street scenes are very similar to "The Trip" movie by Jack Nicholson, Peter Fonda.

While the drug LSD was not ILLEGAL at the time, the main character was arrested for being "In danger of leading an idle, dissolute or immoral life, section 601 of the welfare and institutions code."

Make you wonder... was there Really ever a law prohibiting an Idle, Dissolute or Immoral Life...

I love the Biff Rose song "Hello Dolphin"

Song Lyrics:
"Buzz The Fuzz" by: Biff Rose

Once there was a fellow
And his name was Buzz
He was just a rookie cop
Just a baby fuzz
He patrolled the Sunset Strip
In the land of the free
And the home of the hip
He protected you and me
Until he met a girl named Alice D.

Alice was the girl that all good hippies dread
And they called her Sweet Alice D. Head
Alice it was plain to see
Was full of pot and STP
She'd attract a great big crowd
Because her inner peace
Was much too loud

Good Buzz did the thing
That good fuzz must
Shoved his gun in Alice's chest
And said "Dis is a bust!"
Put the flashlight to her eyes
She began to hyp-no-tize
Buzz said "What a wild sensation
This must be halu-halu-sinay-sinay-shun-shun-shun."

Love is so sensational
When you fall in love
With eyes dilational

Buzz said "Alice, you I like.
Come take ride on my fuzzy bike.
Soon it will be gettin' dark
And we can watch the stars
From Griffith Park."

So they both went out and dug astrology
Through their mutual halucinology
Now they're taking pills and shots
And Buzz is not afraid of Watts
Buzz and Alice D have shown
The way of where the fuzz
Might be some day

Buzz is still a cop of course
He's the pusher on the force
He's protecting you and me
From evil women like poor Alice D.

Is this Alice D. ???

Let's use The Bark from Redwood Trees to Prevent Weeds instead of RoundUP! We use Bark in our garden and it works great. AND! It doesn't kill people... It's a One Time Cost for the Farmer and the Money is Kept within the State of California... Currently, a Giant Barge of Redwood Bark and wood chips Leaves Eureka, California Every Week headed for China... We also ship entire logs... They don't want the logs sawed up into boards because they have their own sawmills... and it's cheaper to employ Chinese Slaves to do the Work.

Farmers have to pay for RoundUP every year and The Costs of all those Lawsuits MUST be passed on to the Farmers and the people that buy the Food. AND! We Eat That Poison! We could have healthier Food if we just used Redwood Bark and Wood Chips to Prevent Weeds.

BIOMASS Electric Power Plants Could Dispose of the Millions of Dead Trees in California that are a Fire Hazard. Before we have another Disastrous Wildfire like we had in Paradise last summer, we could remove the fuel from the forests and use it to generate electricity.

"The number of biomass plants, another option for disposing of trees, has fallen to about two dozen from 66 in the 1990s, in part due to the expiration of government price subsidies." - according to the California Energy Commission.

Why not REOPEN those unused BIOMASS plants and clean up our forests before we have a Disaster?
