One Thousand Days: 70's "It" Gal and "Punk Muse"- Hellin Ki

This was our time. This was our music. These are our stories.
Los Angeles 1976-1979 Some-even we-called it "Punk": Ramones, Pistols, Avengers, Screamers, Weirdos and more, as seen through the eyes off their peers. A time when LA was still young and we- all too willing.
Heck-the "Cold War" was still raging-where supposedly, any new day could bring Nuclear annihilation.
If of course the earthquakes didn't get you first.
This was our music. This was our moment.They were goddesses.
Yeah, ok... so I have a vivid imagination- do you know they weren't? But I know they were
goddesses...
like the ones I'd read about as a child- -live, tall, walking, talking, breathing goddesses-
...cast in the molds of diamond and moon glow, polished by comets, burnished in absinth, colored by dreams.
