At
the Cincinnati Pop Festival 1970, just minutes after the police stopped
the show. Festival organizers expected the kids to stay in the stands.
After our first song they rushed onto the field. The police told us
to stop the show until they returned to their seats. The kids responded
by pulling clumps of the Cincinnati Reds infield out and throwing it
at the police (the summer of love was over). Lead guitarist Bob Kalamazs

When
we returned to her room one night after dinner, to do that one
thing that we always did best, a rare white Gibson bass that I
had left there was gone. When I asked the motel manager if she'd
seen any unusual activity around our room that night, she said. "Yeah,
I saw your girlfriend write me a bad check for four hundred dollars!"
I
had fallen so deeply in lust with this girl, how could I have ever
imagined, in my wildest dreams, that one day she would silently stand
by and watch as an attempt was made to murder me. And when that failed,
she would lie under oath in a court of law, to help insure my conviction
to charges that would equal more that a life sentence.
