博客來When I grew up in Inglewood, California, back in the fifties and sixties, times were so different to what they are today. The cities grew much slower. Mind you, we didn’t have vast open wilderness areas but plenty of smaller fields and empty lots that were very comfortable for us kids to cut loose in. Needless to say, we could grow up at a normal pace rather than be pressured to become adults early in life like the kids of today. So, when I say we cut loose, we cut loose!
We played with explosives, our bicycles, dirt bikes, and later, with hot rods and other things in between. Basically, I would have to write another one just to explain what’s in this book! So, I hope this is enough to get your curiosity up to see what’s inside.
Also, we used a lot of swear words as kids growing up, as it felt like a rite of passage. Mind you, we didn’t use them in front of our parents to keep from getting our bottoms warmed up. As for other adults, we refrained from using them, unless of course, they deserved it.
