From the forthcoming Neal Morgan Sketchbook March 2015 - March 2016, Like I Was A Boy Again was one of many sketches made in response to the story of Rajneeshpuram - the settlement of the Rajneesh community near Antelope, Oregon in the mid-1980s - following a visit to the site and the viewing of archival footage and discussions with friend filmmakers Chapman and Maclain Way in March 2015. The sketches were made as though they were imagined scenes of an imagined movie depicting what might have happened or what might have been felt or thought by children or adults during the creation of Rajneeshpuram.
