One (well, technically two) more little side-note on the Deke
thread....
I couldn't agree more with the "once you met him, he recognizes ya -
I talked with him briefly after he played a set at a 4th of July BBQ
Hot Rod Bowl-O-Rama at Sea Bowl in beautiful Pacifica, CA. I was
trying to score a copy of Major Chaos, but minutes before he'd sold
the last one. Some 8 months later I saw him at Slim's in SF with Los
Straitjackets, and when I said hi to him after the show, he asked if
I'd had a chance to track down a copy. Needless to say I was floored.
On the flip side, an acquaintance of mine apparently had beef with
the Dekester at one show in SF, and was at that same show at Slim's.
From what I hear, this guy began running his mouth yet again while
Deke was trying to sound-check. Deke almost immediately jumped down
from the stage, grabbed this somewhat inebriated fella by the back of
his collar, and personally removed him from the venue. Rock-star
jerk? I think not!!! Hell, I don't care that I knew the guy... even
I would have tossed him for talkin' smack to the Dekemeister!
