Maybe you should change the band name to The Blues Bandits! Just make sure to take along chicken wire and you'll be OK! LOL!

It's off to Astoria to play a big old redneck bash. How they contracted us to be the band, I have no clue. We don't even know any Skynryd covers in case we find ourselves in a jam..

Hey BlueBandit,

Man, does  this remind me of the "good 'ole days."  I have some funny stories, but I won't bore you guys with them.

What it really reminded me of was the story about the SEX PISTOLS first gig in TEXAS :roll eyes:

Here are quotes from some who witnessed this memorable event 

They are taken from an article from the Austin Chronicle.

Here is the link:

The night the Sex pistols went off at Randy's rodeo

"The night smelled like trouble from the start. During the Seventies, San Antonio was the No. 1 hard rock market in the country. A quick look at the crowd in the club made one fact clear: Punk rock and heavy metal were one and the same to 99% of the audience. These were devil-worshipping, head-banging heathens, and they couldn't have cared less about safety pins, or really, the Sex Pistols. They were in it for the curiosity factor, like they were visiting the zoo to see the newest animal attraction. That and the fact they were ready to kick Johnny Rotten's ass all the way back to London."

-----------------

" It was at this point that rock & roll murder barely got missed, and I'll never forget how close it all came. Johnny Rotten started screaming at the band's attackers: "All you cowboys are faggots." Of course, there really weren't any cowboys at Randy's that night. If Rotten had said, "All you Mexicans are faggots," I have no doubt he would have been killed. There was zero security, the audience could reach out and touch the band, and to insult the audience's manhood like that was stone cold. "


Of course,  this is a lot more about this night at the above link..may be worth  taking a little of time out of your day to read it.    If not, then don't  read it ...
