DON'T
TRY THIS AT HOME;

"Day
6/part 2: 80 miles to Seattle, ya'll"
Well, it
looks like the canadian problem might be solved soon. Sometimes
all it takes is an important phone call. Stay tuned. That aside,
I am riding along the 5 interstate hwy with light rain, cloudy skies
and beautiful mountains all around me. We're all looking forward
to the show at the EMP skychurch. We want to leave the west coast
rocking before we Feast in the East (as Ed says!). Big thanks again
to Scully and Natasha (don't mess with her..she's tough, ok?) for
putting on the boxing gloves and going toe to toe against the doubters.
If the portland show was any inditcation, LOVE is ready to rock
it and if anyone feels like DON IN SF, then you might be better
off staying home and listening to your grateful dead records. Not
only did DON IN SF offend the SF LOVE fans by calling them "Mojo
Readers" (as if they're only fair weather fans and HE'S the
real fan), DON IN SF also gives legal advice. Now I can understand
people having the right to say anything they well please, but explain
the point in Don's letter to me. I mean, it's obviously personal.
But, for someone who was wrongfully made to live behind bars for
5 years and narry say much about it to take up the subject with
a sympathetic audeince (they were mostly cheering, remember, DON?)
is not worthy of a "4th strike." But this is the kind
of classless BS that happens when 1 person thinks 1 show is strictly
for themselves. Listen, we try our damnest to give everything to
the show and the fans. Arthur has played 30 shows since may 14.
1 show where he wants to talk about his experiences is no crime.
1 show out of 30. So go easy on a guy who's committed to following
the music and not the music scene. Several of you have posted about
him walking out to the people in line at BIMBOS with a glass of
wine in his hand. But did anyone write that he picked 10 people
and gave them free tickets?
So DON IN
SF needs to chill a bit. Don't be so quick to judge.
