   You must consider that all manner of mind altering substances were legal
then. 
   If you doubt the conection of hostility to authority figures and drug
taking, you might want to get out on the streets. It was that way in the
sixties(remember the phrase; "off the pigs?"), it's the same now.
   I'm sure the "DeadHeads" were pretty "mellow" at that concert, and while
"stoned," most people are very passive, hence the lack of aggresion in
Moiso's(or often Robt. Parish's) game, there are also the opposite effects,
that often linger, between highs.
   Anyway, I'm not wanting to get on any crusade here, nor do I really care
who smokes pot, if he gives me my money's worth as a fan, but Charles
Oakley's words have to be considered and any high school counsellor will
tell you to look for drug use, if your child is underperforming, surly and
lethargic.
