Sex In The City, 60's Style
author: Max P. Martini - Out In The Mountains (Vermont)
Donald Currie has finally released his much anticipated Sex and Mayhem – Part Two. If you haven’t bought a copy of his first CD – Sex and Mayhem – Part One – get it now otherwise you won’t have a #$%@ing clue as to what the hell is going on in Part Two (clever marketing, huh?).
As we plug back into the wild and crazy life of Mr. Currie, we are now entering the Age of Aquarius in San Francisco – filled with frightening fashions and hair, drugs, communal living, and of course sex. Donald’s life with Joseph the “dreamy” drama professor takes a few unexpected twists and turns in Part Two. We are also introduced to a whole new cast of characters including the free spirit Mickey.
Part Two is a decidedly darker and seamier side of Donald’s life brought forth in a psychedelic mixture of sound and speech. Donald has an amazing way of bringing us back to a time and place we all remember, or at least wish we could remember. Whether you lived through this era or not, you will definitely identify with the drama of finally leaving your parents and realizing that you must be careful what you wish for as you might actually get it and wish you hadn’t.
So dust off that bong, drag out the tie-dyed t-shirt and bell-bottom pants, and tune in to another groovy installment in the life of Donald Currie.

His first two installments in what will become the four part audio equivalent of Armistead Maupin's "Tales of the City" leads us from a San Francisco State freshman's first flaming love affair in 1964 to his subsequent stoned-out epiphanies at Jefferson Airplane shows. In the process we receive a hilarious crash course in West Coast counterculture Homo 101. The format is nonstop triple tongued narrative interspersed with brilliant musical interjections and sonic collages. Currie's oversized, must hear evocations establish him as a side splitting genius on the edge of gender-bending hysteria.
