8.11.06 - The James Gang Rides Again
Lots of people are bitchin' that Sturgis isn't wild anymore, but we've witnessed plenty inside the campgrounds. Can't find a sitter? 3 days ago, ABM observed a wildly enthustiac couple, escorting their three children, each on a "hot wheels" type, pink & blue battery powered toy chopper. What in the hell are they thinking? Why not just take the kids to a porn convention? After living for a week on hot dogs, 100% bran, & beer, we'll be crashing the First Gold Hotel in Deadwood for the weekend $13 prime rib buffet..Bikers Arrive, Prices Rise: Grocery stores all hike prices--plums 1.39, now 1.89. Heads of lettuce 1.29, now 1.69. Beer, Gas, Paper Towels, and Meat, We arrive, prices go up. Mass Exodus: Departing RV's, Coaches, Campers, and Backpack Bikers are mixing with bikers who just got here, headed for the Hills, creating a morning traffic nightmare. Bikers who arrived at the beginning of last week, are breaking camp, and heading home, leaving the hard-core behind.
Ted Nugent's power trio was loud as hell, and as always, he played a great set, but seeing the original James Gang--every album--great tracks we thought could never be heard live again--Asshton Park, Walk Away, Midnight Man, and Funk 49, to which the crowd sang so loud, they nearly drowned out the band--Joe took a minute to reflect on the state of America today--how things would be different if he were in charge--"Joe Walsh for President". Where's our bumper sticker? Anyone who can play a guitar like that, deserves a french chef and fresh linens in the Linclon bedroom. They played one encore for a total 90 minute set, driving the crowd wild with "I'm Going Down", and finally, "Rocky Mountain Way". Like one guy yelled at the beginning..."Thank you, Joe".
Weird Sights: Campground cooking, 101. half dozen eggs, vegtables, meat, cheese, mix into zip loc plastic bag. boil exactly 13 minutes, and you have a western egg omlette for company. Shootout Update: Outlaws vs Hells Angels- Two Outlaws in hospital, critical condition, 2 Hells Angels held for bail. District attorney wanted bail revoked, in case one or both Outlaws die in the hospital. She has nothing to worry about--BAIL HAS BEEN SET AT 5 MILLION DOLLARS, EACH....
