The Rock & Roll Chef®

Finally got some MP3s from Linda Lou, plugged in one of their tunes underneath the video I shot at Rocklahoma. Man, here's wishing I had a high-end notch filter to neutralize that tour bus engine noise...

Anyway, I think the name they chose for an all-girl rock band is truly brilliant/sly; and, as you can see by the video, Linda Lou holds up well under pressure, having just gotten her fave guitar back from some skeezy assistant-to-a-bus driver loser who claimed he got too drunk, and "accidentally" took off with her guitar - right.

FYI, the thief escaped a beating from the stage crew by a whisper, as security was ready to make them tear the whole stage apart to find Linda's axe. They were hot, tired, sleep deprived and badly in need of a distraction. However, he was only confined to the tour bus for the next day. I seriously would have put him outside the festival grounds, and told him to find his own way back to Chicago...

As of right now, it's probably too soon to put any judgements on the outcome of this "Back To Oklahoma" trip (I was born there).

Some things do stand out, though: Truly severe weather, truly hot women, some great connections & new pals, my Totally Chipotle products getting rave reviews, some big liars and out-and-out thieves, totally shallow & transparent scammer/party chicks, some nice small-town folks, dreaded small-town cops, narcissists and egomaniacs, well-dressed losers, casually dressed multi-millionaires - all in full view backstage from behind my custom kitchen flight case, at the mercy of the weather and flow of the people.

More later, but meantime, check out an all-girl band with a great name, whom I met just after a very bad moment (for them). I liked them a lot, and hope they go big soon: COCKPIT!
