"One of them was called the Action, one was called the Trip, and the other was the Whiskey-a-Go-Go. "The Action was a place where actors and television personalties went to hang out with hooker; the Whiskey was the permanent residence of Johnny Rivers, who played there for years; and the Trip was the big showplace where all the recording acts played when they came to town - Donovan, the Butterfield Blues Band, Sam the Sham and the Pharoahs; bands like that all played there. "There were a few other clubs in town, but they didn't have the same status as those places. A new group coming to work on the circuit would start at the Action; then, maybe on Johnny River's day off, they could play at the Whiskey (but they wouldn't get their name on the marquee, which would still say "Johnny Rivers"), and, if they got a record contract, they got to play in the Trip. We eventually landed a job at the Action. "On Halloween night 1965, during the break before the last set, I was sitting on the steps in front of the place, wearing khaki work pants, no shoes, an 1890s bathing shirt and a black homburg hat with the top pushed up. "John Wayne arrived in a tux with two bodyguards, another guy and two ladies in evening gowns - all very drunk. "Reaching the steps, he grabbed me, picked me up and started slapping me on the back, shouting, "I saw you in Egypt and you were great ... and then you _blew me!" "I took an immediate dislike to the guy. Remember, all kinds of show people went to this club, from Warren Beatty to Soupy Sales, so it wasn't unusual for someone like "the Duke" to show up. "The place was packecd. When I got up on stage to begin the last set, I announced: "Ladies and gentlemen, as you know, it's Halloween. We _were_ going to have some important guests here tonight - we were expecting George Lincoln Rockwell, head of the American Nazi Party - unfortunately, he couldn't make it - but here's _John Wayne_." "As soon as I said that, he got up from his table, stumbled onto the dance floor, and started to make a speech. I leaned the microphone down so everyone could hear it; something along the lines of " - and if I'm elected, I promise to..." At that point, one of his bodyguards grabbed him and made him sit down. The other one handed the microphone back to me and told me to cool it or there was going to be BIG TROUBLE. "At the end of the show, the manager of the club came over to me and said, "Be nice to the Duke, because when he gets like this he starts throwing fifty-dollar bills around." "I had to pass his table on my way out. As I went by, he got up and smashed my had down of top of my head. I took it off and popped it back out. This apparently annoyed him, as he shouted "You don't like the way I fix hats? I've been fixin' hats for forty years." I put it back on my head and he smashed it down again. I said, "I'm not even gonna give you a chance to apologize," and walked out." - Frank Zappa from the book "The Real Frank Zappa Book". go buy it. it's a great read whether or not you like his music. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= ! 25 TRENDY NEW BODY MODIFICATIONS ! -(IHOP inspired)- 1.
