We join George East at the start of the 60's when Rock 'n' Roll was
in its infancy. Young men and women throughout the UK are dancing
the night away as they experience teenagehood. Following the US
with music, fashion and a new-found freedom. Eventually coming into
their own, we see the start of a new era of English fashion and
music with the likes of The Beatles, The Who, The Rolling Stones
and more locally, The Stormriders, the latest name for George's
errant band. "Because of the vast quantities of beer, acid (LSD),
upper and downer pills, scrumpy cider and whacky baccy ingested at
the time, my memories of the Sixties are understandably patchy in
parts. To fill in the blanks, I'm grateful for the help of
surviving contemporaries, old friends, foes and lovers, and, when
available, police and court records and the recollections of
arresting officers. My escapades were perhaps extreme, but I think
my experiences and adventures in the so-called Swinging Sixties
were broadly similar to millions of young men and women at a time
when British society changed dramatically from the grey post-war
years to what seemed to many a new and exciting world. Whether you
believe it was a change for the better or worse will I think depend
on your age, attitude and how much fun you had in those far-off
days."
