Once in 1966

during warm ups for the coming Summer Of Love my best friend and I rode our Triumph TT Specials 110 miles to see the the BBs play. If you ever have rode a TT special you realize what a great sacrifice this was and the extreme danger we put our dangling parts in.
Several more times during that era I saw them. Had a friend who introduced my girlfriend and I to them at his home in Los Altos. After dinner we all rode in the limos to San Francisco and spent a very good evening with the band. A truly generous and kind bunch of folks. Brian is a true genius and like many other geniuses he walks a very thin rope between brilliance and despair and uncertainty.
My girlfriend had a certain substance in her purse that night....someone mentioned that it would be nice to partake of said substance, unknowing that she had it. I mentioned that there might be a bit in Rhonda's purse and the band broke into an accapela version of Help Me Rhonda. An amazing moment....I do not recall what happened after that.....
