Yeah, I started talking to Richard a couple of years ago about it...we kicked around ideas, places to have it...yada yada...it sorta died with a huge undertaking, daunting, to much to do task....yada yada...
we talked about a get together reunion too...yada yada...
now it's a coming upon us rather quickly. I was thinking today of some rather radical types we have on the scene....the Motor City Mad Man came to mind, 'ole Nuge....now 'ole Uncle Ted, he's got several acres of private domain and is a back to the roots type of guy. His Spirit Wild Ranch in the outskirts of Crawford, TX west of Waco. China Spring, Texas to be exact.
Since the early 1990s Nugent has become both popular and criticized for his conservative beliefs and his anti-
drug and anti-
alcohol stances. He is a national spokesman for the
Drug Abuse Resistance Education (DAR'E) program, advocating the "natural highs" to be found in an outdoor lifestyle. 'Rumor has it he still burns a fat one once in a while....the Natural high ya knows....'
He has hosted the Ted Nugent Kamp for Kids, which combines a curriculm of hands-on hunting, conservation, archery and a strong anti-drug message aimed mainly at underprivileged
inner-city children. Nugent also is a spokesman for the
National Field Archery Association,
Mothers Against Drunk Driving, and
Big Brothers Big Sisters of America. 'This is good....no dwunks....'
An advocate of hunting and
gun-ownership rights, Nugent currently serves on the Board of Directors of the
National Rifle Association (NRA).
[23][24] http://en.wikipedia .org/wiki/ Ted_Nugent Frank Zappa also comes to mind as someone gone to dedicate this concert to. As much of a Rebel as they got.
http://en.wikiquote .org/wiki/ Frank_Zappahttp://en.wikipedia .org/wiki/ Frank_Zappa ZZ Top also comes to mind as down home Texas boys with attitude.
Billy Gibbons (
lead vocals,
guitar),
Dusty Hill (
vocals,
bass,
keyboards), and
Frank Beard (
drums,
percussion).
http://en.wikipedia .org/wiki/ ZZ_Top Ya see where this is leading?
Toby friggin' Keith, country boy Toby...well, a rock a billy but good as gold.
The dude has a way with PROGRESSIVE Country Rock.
He's a rebel rouser no doubt.
He'll fit in with this.
He ain't a Texan, but, he a close second being an OKIE.
He'll bring in a progressive crowd too.
http://en.wikipedia .org/wiki/ Toby_Keith This is just a start of things, when ya get the big boys with big hearts involved for a "CAUSE", big things happen rather quickly.
If these guys can't donate the place, I'll just bet cha they know of a place.....
No doubt the connections they have in the business will make this happen...
Get these guys all together for a collective effort and the Great Texas sky's the limit.
I'm Just sayin''..... kick up your ideas...... no such thing as a dumb idea.....k?
Give it your best shot.....
Regards from Texas....

I thought Richard was going to be working on this for some time now.......A big undertaking to say the least. If it happens that would be great if not then just getting togeather and sharing memories would be neat also. Ode to the Trip Tent!!!

OK,
A 40th anniversary pop festival gig???....let' s get 'er done!
What's it gonna take to make this happen?
Well, for starters.... we got to spread da word!
Get some interest started.
I say we COULD get the gang in Austin on it for starters.
The 'ole Armadilla HQ crew...Oat Willies, Willie Nelson, contact some of the 'ole crew that's still livin', CCR wasn't there but, the revisited crew I'll guarantee you would do it. That's a start, we need a committee, Richard? You gotta be in on this for it to work.
We got 90 days before Labor Day week-end...not sayin' it has to occur on that specific day....personally, when it's cooler it would be cool 'er ;0). YaknowwhatImean? We need a place, preferably private property in the sticks some where with the coveted LAKE....ohhhh lala.
We need sponsors...like head shops, the Hippie Museum guys, Rainbow guys, Austin eaterys, poster shops, tee shirt shops, radio stations, whatever...whoever. ...we ain't proud..are we? It's a doable thing with a collective effort. Who's in?
Peace...
