Re hip jargon, I recently found a copy of the NY Times Magazine article I wrote in 1971 called "If you Think It's Groovy to Rap, You're Shucking." It was rather tongue in cheeky (damn, I like the way that sounds). It was a compendium of rock/hip/hippie jargon of the time. It's way too long to post, so as soon as I scan it I'll put it up on my rock site, Tales of the Ancient Rocker (www.geocities.com/theancientrocker). It's one of two sites I have, the other being Michael Jahn's New York, which goes into my mystery novels (written as Michael Jahn), the last of which being "Murder in Coney Island."

I do all this for fun, by the way. It's a break from the medical editing/website content management I do to pay the bills.
