The Acid Queens


Wow, this is going to be tough trying to get through the holidays and keep the blogging thing happenin'. YIKES!
Here is a picture that was taken by a photographer that worked for the St. Louis Post Dispatch. My girlfriend Linda and I met Peter Rudge, The Who's road manager back in '71 and then the following year he worked for the Stones. At the last minute, they decided to put on a second show and needed some battery acid. (Don't ask me why, but I think it had something to do with lifting the speakers on the stands are something like that. )Another close girlfriend of mine new someone who worked at a local K-Mart so we gave him a call, picked up the acid and drove to the venue. When we arrived, there were hundreds of people waiting outside the backstage door. A couple of roadies greeted us at the entrance and as we walked in Peter Rudge said, "Here they are, the Acid Queens!"
