....oh and this was the first of numerous times I was almost run over by 60's popular culture icons...................
.....my buddy grabbed me as Hendrix's limo went shooting by at a high rate of speed thru the side lot of the grandstand.....
I was safe for years until we went to see an eletronic music presentation, Seastones, a composition by some Grateful Dead members at Dominican College in San Rafael,Ca in 1975, I believe.........
It was supposed to be only two people, the bassist & a guy from MIT with a huge computerized music setup.....but Garcia, David Crosby & the drummer Mickey Hart also showed.....
Small BMW comes racing down the path & again a buddy pulls me out of the way....Garcia in the passenger seat......my guess was Crosby was driving......
Safe for another long time & then friends & I are putting together a booth at a "New Age Fair" in the early 90's (this is California, after all ) some other friends have another booth right next to a very large open doorway leading into the main hall, where the main speaker for the evening, Timothy Leary, yes that Timothy Leary, 1st person to die live on thje Internet on purpose Timothy Leary, got away from all the 60's hoopla & into highly evolved child development studies Timothy Leary.......who, walking thru the side hall to go to where he would speak, almost runs me down, on foot, Timothy Leary............
FF to 1998 & the Furthur Festival at Shoreline Amphitheater Mountain View, CA........
Afriend & I are going down the sidewalk from the parking area to the venue, I grab her just as the limo carrying Bonnie Raitt comes flying across the walkway headed toward the backstage area......
So there's all my near misses with being almost run over by famous people.....
.....now, where were we?
...Ahh.....Blue Kettles......
