CRAZIEST ROAD MEMORY: At one of our gigs A Drunk in a 1970’s powder blue tux is dancing digging my music but flipping off the band ..I laughed & asked him from the stage  “Well hey brother whatta’ ya do for a livin’ man”.. he reaches into his coat, me and the boys  think he’s pullin’ a gun. I hit the deck. He throws a bag of Pot the size of brick at us…It goes all over the  place ,dance floor, on the stage,….fans crawling around trying to grab what they can.. Bouncers take him out and beat him up- the whole place smells like skunk-We keep playing. Cops arrive, stop the show..ask us “who did  the pot belong to & who threw it?” no one says a word…..All of a sudden a lone voice  yells “Its was mine& I want it back!!”- Lo & Behold it’s the drunk guy in the powder blue tux  back inside the club .-As cops grab him drag him outside again  he yells  “Michael do Something you son of a bitch!!“ Later after the gig a good lookin’ blonde gal  pulls up & asks If I need a ride to the motel . I tell her “its been one crazy night” she says “I know what you mean my old man got arrested” – I say “It must be in the air  because some guy in a  powder blue tux threw a bag of pot at me then  got hauled off by  cops at my gig “ she said “That’s my old man!”
