I'v herd this tale form many corners.... After the exlosion in '67 prometers
and record company reps were up here by the plane load from SoCal literaly
grabing people off the street because they 'looked' like rock stars. A band
called "Cosmic Popcorn" comes to mind as one formed by (then) Lt Govener
Mike _____ who would later manage 'Up with People' and in partnership with
no less than Dick Clark produce one of the worst movies of all time centered
in the Haight, and around the Straight Theater. ( there were some
interesting camera shots on the roof of the Straight) The plot has a
diSTINKly Art Linkletter slant to it. If I could remember the name I
wouldnt repeat it for fear of someone makeing another dime in roality money
on that bomb. But I think its more than safe to say that during the inlflux
of people that were around during that time more than a few bands were
formed, most of which never got off the ground.
For instance 'The Down Home Nastys' , of which a few members are still
around. In fact I play poker once a mounth with one of the guitar players.
As a side note to HGD.. our friend the Hobbit held forth at 1100 Page for
many moons before moving to Fell St with the Nastys.
