Joey Cain regales us with tales of his fascinating life. In this Part 1, we hear of him hitchhiking to New York City in 1972 at age 16 and walking from the George Washington Bridge to Christopher Street where Marsha P. Johnson took him on a tour of the piers and the trucks. Stay tuned for Part 2, when Joey will move to San Francisco and join the Radical Faeries in their early days, form a lifelong friendship with Harry Hay, and much more.
