to be rock liberals you'd choke on your organic oatmeal. They write what sells, they address their fans with songs that they know will be accepted. It is a business, first, last and foremost. You really have no clue about which you speak, being a self declared outsider with no clue except what your imagination thinks the scene is like.
First of all, these folks I knew were friends before anything else occurred. Before the first albums, before the first Fillmore shows, before world tours. We were friends.at one another's homes, hanging out for a beer or coffee while telling jokes and wondering if organic mescaline was a better trip than synthetics were?
I was on stage taking pix because I was invited to be there. The promoters did not like it, the bands did. You do not see pix of Led Zep, 10 Years After etc because I did not take pix of them and did not know them. I photographed friends, I liked to and they liked me to.
Why talk about groupies? Are they meaningful to you? Important to your fantasy of what went on? How fucking small minded and ignorant you really are to think that was an important part of backstage life. If they had been important I would have pix of them, they were not and I do not.
Don't forget that Kesey was a millionaire. His books and movies allowed him to live a regal lifestyle in La Honda as well as later in Springfield. Talk about groupies, Kesey had more women hanging on than I ever saw hanging backstage with CSN&Y or the Dead. Fay Kesey put up with it, believing in open marriage and all. She enjoyed the royal fuckfest as much as Ken did.And a fuckfest is what it was. Not only that, but Ken was the figurehead, the steering and motor were folks like Kenny Babbs, Mike Hagan, Zonker (Steve Lambrecht-RIP) Carolyn Adams (Mountain Girl), Fetchin Gretchen, Steward Brand and a few others.
For you to try to peep in the window at something you knew nothing about and then to try and verbalize to me what I went thru and what the people were/are like is laughable and shows exactly why you are a fool who mistakes spewing of oral diarrhea as insider knowledge and wisdom.
I meant 5 feet in your stocking feet, not with your shoes and keg braces.
