Real Life Is Funny Sometimes: we had a callback action from leading candy brand Haribo - candy coke bottles - because there is cannabis in them.

I saw Cheech & Chong in either 1971 or 72, I tried to look it up but could not find it in the archive...I know I was there I took a date,
technically it was my first concert but I usually count my first concert as Edger Winter Group (w/Rick Derringer and guest Johnny Winter), w/Jo Jo Gun
(Joe Walsh) & Spooky Tooth (Gary Wright) in July 1973 at the Long Beach Arena.

I went to the California Jam in 1974 at the Ontario Motor Speedway a one day festival in which they used railroad tracks to roll one stage in and
another off to get the festival done in one day.
The thing that almost stopped us from going were the ticket price of $10 an outrageous sum in 1973, the way you got the ticket is you clipped the
"Special Priority Coupon" filled in your information put it in an envelope with $10 and mailed it, then they sent you your tickets...lol...
The line-up was good so we pulled the trigger, would you:
Rare Earth
Earth, Wind, & Fire
The Eagles
Seals & Croft
Black Oak Arkansas
Black Sabbath
Deep Purple
Emerson, Lake, & Palmer
They sold 250,000 tickets but estimate as many as another 100,000 made it into the concert...

oh, to have been there... I've often felt I was born 20 years too late.
Then again, nowadays I listen to 90s music from time to time, for nostalgic reasons.

Nice, I might have said before that Mrs Eddie was at the 1970 Isle of Wight pop festival and got to see Jimi Hendrixs last big concert along with many
others, she got grounded by her parent of 3 months for that one lol
Below is the Doors at the gig

I looked it up that was good gig, to early for me but I would have loved to see that line up:
Joan Baez, Joni Mitchell, Jimi Hendrix, (his last ever UK appearance), Donovan, Jethro Tull, Miles Davis, Arrival, Cactus, Family, Taste, Mungo Jerry,
ELP, The Doors, The Who, Spirit, The Moody Blues, Chicago, Procol Harum, Sly and the Family Stone.

Yeah, it was a good one and worth getting grounded for- some say this was a better one than Woodstock!

Friendship between Women:
A woman didn’t come home one night. The next morning she told her husband she had slept over at a friend’s house. The man called his wife’s 10
best friends. None of them knew anything about it.

My car broke down somewhere between the port and the Hallmark shop.
Now I’m stuck between a dock and a card place.
