Agents and Advocates: A Little Help From My Friends

By Michael Willard

John Lennon and Paul McCartney wrote that they “get by with a little help from their friends.” They added a second line about “getting high” and, for good measure, they were “going to try” with help from those pals.

The last time I got high, other than by whiskey tippling, was when the buffalo ran freely and Flint, Mi. drinking water was as pure as freshly fallen snow. I had long hair, wore Indian jewelry, and sported bellbottoms.
