“I am known as 42nd Street Pete, a character that I created as a
living reminder of that lost decade, the ‘70s. I was one of a
million nameless, faceless kids with no direction and no future. We
all had the ugly specter of the Vietnam War hanging like a sword
over our heads. We weren’t college material; we were clerks, gas
station attendants, custodians, the like. Pretty much cannon fodder
for the front lines. Most of us knew that we stood a good chance of
being drafted and coming back in a bag, so we lost ourselves in the
explosion of drugs, alcohol, sex, violence, and music that were the
‘70s.” Hustler, pot fiend, porn expert.Take a walk down a dark
alley with 42nd Street Pete as he recounts his tales growing up on
"The Deuce". Criminal activity, classic undesirable cinema, pot,
booze, pros, cons. The '70s: uncut, uncensored. If you really
remember the ’70s, you were lucky to have survived them.
