Back about '77 a friend of mine and I jumped on a greyhound bus to Saganaw Texas
to get a job working for Borton Construction, building a Grain Elevator. Got off the bus bout 2am out in the middle of nowhere Texas on a dark, drizzly night. Walked maybe 4 miles to the town, and went into a, I think it was a Denny's Restaurant. Must have been 200 redneck construction workers in there.
When we walked in, with our looong hair, scraggly beards, and the requisite jean jackets and Levi's Big Bells jeans, I swear, the place went dead silent!
Could've heard a pin drop.
We left, and caught the next bus home.
Hippie's and rednecks. A volatile mix back in the 70's!
Sooo glad I survived long enough to outgrow that period of my life!!
This song always reminds me of that "adventure".
