I stayed away from the acid.
Dont get me wrong. Lots of good people who are "former" hippies and actually got jobs and have a life, but still enjoy the band. They are fine.
Its the other pseudo-vagrant culture that follows this band that is just disgusting and pretty messed up. Were talking BUMS here. Panhandlers. Total BUMS with ho home, no food, no money, no nothing. I dont even think the band likes these people. But there they are. They beg borrow, steal their way from show to show. They are the ones who crash the venue gates when they can, and leave the parking lot looking like WW3 when they leave. One of the reasons I wont go to shows anymore. If I want to see this many !@#$ing bums, Ill go to San Francisco and have a walk around.
