[T2] humble roadies, bus

[Robert Mann]

Wayul thaynk y'all; glad to learn they have a tougher 'bottom end', esp if
they don't have a rev-limiting distrib rotor.
It is possible that these hussies are merely actresses staging a pretence
at being a low-brow touring band.  The bus they're using looks more
neglected than mine!  The sound track suggests they have a backing band,
who would conventionally act as *roadies*, not abusing instruments.  The
image is not coherent.
And Al is right to query their glorifying of unwise decadent behaviour.  I
know nothing of pink pills.  What little I know of the 'pills' dimension is
Dave Dudley's primordial Trucking Song *Six Days on the Road*  -  "I'm
takin' little white pills and my eyes are open wide".  In 1967, as a person
always getting little or no wakefulness from coffee, I was surprised that
NoDoz® white pills kept my eyes open wide as pre-dawn start driver from
Guadalajara for my '57 bus with half a dozen Berkeley cobbers.  I got north
of the borderline before another driver took over.  Yes, that 36hp 1200
could go 'wide' open for many h in a row, but I'm grateful for my present
massive 50hp (perhaps 55 when properly tuned  -  water injection, you
know).
