(the last time i was eighteen. with jane perrot in "bye bye birdie" - 1981)eighteen years ago today rita johnston became the first female premier of a canadian province, succeeding william vander zalm (who had resigned) as premier of british columbia. more than words by extreme was blaring from every car radio and boom box in my milwaukee neighborhood. the dow jones industrial average had just dropped 32.67 points to close at 2,881.19, a loss of just over 1 percent.
and around 11:30 pm i decided to quit smoking crack.
so tomorrow i'm eighteen. does that mean i can drink again?
