The Hippie Girls and Their Queen. What almost ruined the '70's. With Queensryche
from Bob the Blade · host Blade
The 70s weren’t only peace and free love. Vietnam sits at the center of a divide that people still carry, especially families with service backgrounds. I share what I can about my dad’s Air Force years, panic attacks, and the quiet that often surrounds military experiences. A standout moment comes from Queensryche’s Geoff Tate and his explanation of “Sliver,” a sharp summary of how the service can break you down and rebuild you until only a sliver of the original self remains. We close with the small, strangely reliable escapes that still bring relief: sunsets, swimming pools, and yes, a box of donuts.Support the showI always appreciate your support, I am very clear in my understanding of how unclear I really am of myselfand the kaleidoscope in my head makes me laugh.
