I actually did this for a lazy kid... he would give me $10 a day to do it which was crazy money at that time. How or where that money came from I do not know but this is the late 60's.
Watch the video and look at Graces eyes... constantly blinking. Thank Owsley for that lol. No way that guy pitched a no hitter or even made it to the stadium on a true hit of acid. Maybe the day before and took a couple of christmas trees/greenies that day. I call this a bogus story.
I would say the same thing... stay near things you can just walk to, the little extra time going to the stadium is no big deal. We stay at whatever Hilton or subsidary that is at Roswell by the hospital... forget the name. Short walk to Gabriels Gate too.
You are right... funny I was just reading about them last week. The other two I'm not sure if they are still around would be Bells and A&P. We used to have a Murphy's in Lancaster... kind of like Vidler's.
The old green stamp days... my Mom used to wind up with books full of them. I remember going to AM&A's with her, I think she bought a new mixer with them.
Guess they've been replaced by cash back on credit cards.
Sorry to hear this Pete... hope you are on the mend soon. This should give you an idea of what you're looking at and what to do, there are different levels so I guess you have to figure out which one you are: https://www.webmd.com/fitness-exercise/hamstring-strain#1
Usually we had one person who was just smoking weed or hash just to keep an eye on things... no one turning into a bird and flying off of the roof... stuff like that. I really doubt this story, the flashing alone would keep anyone from concentrating on anything, much less pitching a MLB game. Best example I can think of flashing is Grace in the Uncle Sam Blues vid from Woodstock.
Thing is, those "pollsters" must be young or didn't look very far back. I would add Jorma, Harvey Mandell, Terry Kath, Glen Campbell, Al Kooper, etc. Way ahead of Brian May.
I have heard of all of them... I think, but c'mon... Robert Fripp, Frank Zappa, Steve Howe, Al Dimeola, Jimmy Page, Clapton, Duane Allman... that poll is just what I mentioned, for a laugh.
