there were millions of people
milling around smoking dope, having sex in the old
train wagons out front and running behind the club
making an almighty racket, which brought out the
cops in no time. The kerfuffle caused us to pick up
the band late from their hotel.
The band arrived irritated. Captain Sensible was
fuming, to say the least. But once we presented them
with the case of Old English they requested for
backstage, things calmed down. The band went
onstage and as soon as they started, Captain
Sensible’s amp blew up. That was all he needed!
He shouted into the mic; “You Yanks know how
to nuke the Russians, but you’re too fucking stupid to
build an amplifier!”
