I came out in that milieu, performed with The Cockettes, and thought that was how one was supposed to be homosexual. Still do, despite AIDS and assimiliation.

I love John's voice. Knew him in P'town.<br>I think he was in SF later in the 60s. Maybe in 69-70. <br>I went to the Palace to the early Cockette shows. Went to the first Halloween show and maybe a New Years eve show. He was right. 100% of eveyone was on drugs.

In NYC, The Cockettes opened with their worst show: TINSEL TARTS IN A HOT COMA.<br>The next night, they did their best... PEARLS OVER SHANGHAI... but the theater was nearly empty.

It sounds like Emmett Grogan and The Diggers were in full swing when Waters hit town.
