One more, but diff band...(should I say "band"..or simply "culture"? Remember one night in Sturgis, Biker Rally.....
I was on a side street outside Sturgis, some motel, parked with the trailer, as then towed a friends Harley, for the 50th "biggie"..and my old Shovelhead. Reason the tow, was his wife, and kids needed to go to. She followed us in the ride, and they stayed in motels. I slept in the van, eye on the bikes. So I'm sitting on the trailer, and some drunk Indian comes walking by. Says.."ya gotta smoke?"
So we get to BSing, as he brings up a sad story, him drinking too much, no job, etc. I was just out a rehab myself, sober as a "sober..if ya can find one"..a judge.
We BS'ed an hour. I told my story, him me. I talked him into giving me his half done bottle rotgut, poured it down a sewer, said, "go home...talk to your wife and friends..you need help, and it comes from others..but ya need support..and bet they give it to ya".
I damn sure aint no saint, but I'd like to say I talked some sense into him. Indians have a terrible alcohol problem, know many still, here..but they been so freaked over, ..well, now talking over, Casino's...and the good thing? They book the old fart Rock and Roll BANDS!, .."and thats a GOOD thing!"
