If You’re Going to San Francisco Wear a Flower in Your Hair

From Ogden, Utah: We hit the road yesterday morning, heading for San Francisco by way of Montana, Wyoming, Idaho, and now Utah.  Behind us now are the kind Angels of North Dakota-- Cheryl, the hotel manager drove us to the doctor’s office and fed us ribs and baked beans; her fellow Bismarckian Gary, the generous, gentle soul who sold us our new shiny white van; Lance, who drove us to pick our lives out of our trashed van and schooled us on the ways of the Dakotan countryside; and Clint, who towed our van and kept all our equipment safe as we wondered what the heck to do next!  Other angels include our label, Some records, who really went to bat for us to keep us on tour, so thanks Some!  Many gracious thanks to North Dakota and all of you who have wished us well!  Though sad to cancel two shows, we’ll be rocking it in Seattle and Portland just as soon as we can, and we can’t wait to see all you rockers starting in SanFran this Sunday.  I’m gonna rock my ever-lovin’ holy head off my neck in pure joy and thankfulness!  As for our blue Chevy Gladiator, she had a good run of it and sacrificed her life to keep us safe, so we hope she’s having a great time in that junkyard in the sky…

The People Have Spoken:

So San Francisco is going to bear the full brunt of your near-death experience? I hope someone warned them.

Wow.  I’m so glad you are all ok and only came away with a few bumps and bruises.  Hope the rest of the tour goes well for you. Been thinking about you guys a lot and really miss you. Safe travels and enjoy the rest of the tour.  May angels watch over you. Peace. Love to ALL!!

What an awful ordeal! We are so glad that all you weren’t hurt. It could have been so much worse. And it’s so great to hear that you were treated so well. Nevertheless, we are still sad that we couldn’t rock with you last night. Please come back to Portland soon! By the way, SOS is one of the best songs I have heard in years. Pure rock bliss! Much respect…

Midst the usual antiseptic business trip it was great to find such raw energy at Casbah last night.
Lovely drop of culture.
