Reaganite greed

Brigid wanted to be part of an amazing convergence of talents like Haight-Ashbury of the sixties and New York City’s lower east-side of at the cusp of Reaganite greed. Born in central iowa and hiding in the Rockies, she doubted she’d ever witness such synergy.


The visionaries of the late sixties were killed by pharmaceutical curiosity, the lower east-siders died of a disease that even the president was too ashamed to give voice too.


“Did you know that President Regan never said AIDS or HIV publicly?”


“Hello, non-sequitur.” Sid said. “Where did that come from?”


Brigid shrugged and wondered what would kill the demigods of her generation: drugs or sex.
