Thank you Ed and H&S Towing in Harrisburg for the fast help Dinky spare tire will not get me to Chicago so I’m at tire shop in Harrisburg. The owner’s grandson has a fever and is passed out on the floor after eating half a chicken.

Piece of metal on PA turnpike sliced my tire So I did what any professional musician would do: I called my wife, crying.

I went to a Chicago radio station early one morning in 1993 because there was a rumor Pete Townshend might show up to do an interview. I was hoping I could meet Pete. I shared an elevator with a man carrying a guitar so I introduced myself. It was Jerry Jeff Walker. He was doing an interview at the same station. I was honest with him about why I was there. JJW said “Oh yeah - Pete’s great. Say, why don’t you pretend to be my assistant so you can come into the station with me. You’ll have a better chance at meeting Mr. Townshend that way”
