Tina turned on, dropped out, lost weight, and became a Hollywood Hills hippie queen. She fell in love with Buffalo Springfield's "Rock and Roll Woman" and started writing songs. Then she fell in love with a junkie who died and fell out of love with mean Los Angeles and the drug culture and came home to Mom in Austin, where she resurrected as a waitress by day and actress and singer by night.
