This audience can be trouble for concert-hall managers. Says Cleveland Promoter Jules Belkin, "They are up on the seats boogieing and running around the hall." Dress ranges from scruffy jeans to $200 velveteen jackets. The girls may come in couples to ogle, say, a topless Mark Farner of Grand Funk. Then there are the brassy groupies with their stevedore vocabularies who haughtily flaunt their backstage passes. The boys come in gangs and do what gangs do -fling lighted matches, fight the bouncers, sometimes toss empty wine bottles. Vomiting from too much beer or wine is a status symbol...
...Accounts in The Los Angeles Times, The Boston Globe, The New York Times, Time, and Newsweek have focused on the SLA members' unstable personal relationships; the bitterness and isolation supposedly associated with the lesbianism of Patricia Soltysik and Camilla Hall; the desperate disenchantment of Nancy Ling Perry, a former topless waitress who had been a Goldwaterite in her youth. Apparently taking their lead, Dr. Thomas Noguchi, Los Angeles County coroner, ordered a "psychological autopsy" on those who died in the May 17 battle.

In avuncular fashion, he even made the swinging scene, telling his fellow clergy to stop being scandalized by topless fashions. He himself shocked his brethren in the middle of an argument about church vestments by disclosing, "In some churches I wear no more than a black scarf." When last year one of his plans, to merge the 46 million-member Anglican community with 20 million Methodists, was defeated again...
Free Beer. One creative exploit led to another in a can-you-topless-this spirit of competition. At the University of South Carolina, a streaker entered the campus library and asked to check out The Naked Ape. Responding to a Knoxville tavern owner's offer of a free supply of beer to the first coed who would pick it up in the nude, a shapely lass wearing only her makeup darted into the bar and with an armload of beer rushed out again to a waiting car. Two students staged a relay across a bridge in Portland...
