I just knew he was angry at me.

I thought it was going to be an argument.

I thought he might slap me or hurt me,

but I didn't, certainly didn't expect what actually happened.

Morgan Rowan was a teenager living in Los Angeles in the 1960s. The six used to be just an unusual time.

It was a time where everybody tried to just love each other.

How we cared about was peace.

We wanted to end the war.

A lot of people took drugs to find greater meetings. I didn't really need that. I was never really into that. I was much

younger than most of the people that I hung out with. We would go up on Sunset Strip and it was

just hundreds of people walking around on the street and

you would just talk to anybody.

In those years I was 15, 16, most people were 18 to 22. The music was incredible. Sunset Strip was just a

strip of different nightclubs and they all left the doors open so you would just be out in the street you know singing or dancing or

whatever because you can hear all the music coming from all the clubs. It was a

fun time to be alive. I even with the bad things that happened at the end, I wouldn't trade it.

It was a very exciting time to be alive.

This is I survived, the podcast where we talk to people who've lived through the worst things

imaginable and all the tragic, messy, and wonderful things that happen after survival.
