B Side
Year: 1964
Place: Vero Beach, FL
Young boy watching a rock and roll band playing in some public pavilion, nice crowd assembled, snare drum stand collapses, snare drum starts rolling across cement floor. Man steps coolly from the crowd, picks up the snare drum, takes it over to the drums, secures the stand, replaces drum -- all without missing a beat. Young boy never forgets.
Year: 2019
Place: Rockland, ME
Rock and roll band playing in public pavilion, nice crowd assembled watches as the band's trademark tall pink flamingo is knocked from the stage onto the cement floor. A man coolly steps from the crowd, picks up flamingo, secures it back on stage, he looks up to see the band all smiling at him, no more than the man is smiling himself.
