Another batch of photos from my archive

Just posted on flickr:  Norton and Bonnie, originally uploaded by dgans.

Thanks to John Rottet, who did the scanning in his spare time, I’ve got another batch of photos from my journalism days in the bay area in the late ’70s.

So far I’ve posted shots of Carlos Santana 12/31/76, David Crosby and Graham Nash summer ’76, and this shot of Norton Buffalo and Bonnie Raitt smooching outside a club in Berkeley.

More to come…

Tucker Carlson at a DSO show

This guy Dinger blogged about running into conservative talking head Tucker Carlson at a Dark Star Orchestra show. An excerpt:

Just prior to the beginning of the second set, I turned to Tucker Carlson and said (with my index finger and thumb a 1/4 inch of each other) that “I now have this much respect for you.” He said “why”? I said “just because he was into the music of the DEAD.” He then told me that he had been to 75 GRATEFUL DEAD shows and started to follow them in California as a 15 year old. Who Knew?

I then asked Tucker if he brought Anne Coulter (another DEAD HEAD)and he said “No, I brought my wife….she’s much prettier!!!”
