Loving & Passion



    The first time I saw the PSG was about '78, and towards the end she fell
on the floor with her strat, raking it, while Lenny knelt behind her, pressing
against her buttocks.  It was not shocking because it followed the way the
concert had gone.  I think it was during "R&Roll N" or "Gloria"  Whatever she
began by singing a bar or two of, "You Light Up My Life".  In a post-concert
interview she said that they'd reached a new plateau during the concert.

    By that time I was about 20-feet away and even with the stage and I wasn't
looking for stains <G> but I assume that they both came.  OMG it was THE most
passionate I've seen an artist, let alone two.  Jim Morrison maybe, but he was
just one, Patti and Lenny were two.

    That was a pretty heavy night.  Took my little sister, a small 1,000 seat
college auditoreum, UofH, I met a woman later who I grew close to and was
close to uhhhh, "making things permanent", <=sigh, liver disease  :( >   and
when Sis and I got home about sunrise, Mom and Dad were both drinking coffee
on the patio  :)

        OH, sometime, during the after-party where we went, I had to step over
a couple, both wearing feathered owl-masks, making love on the stairs.

    It was a really, really neat night    :)


Q: What does a guy really not want his girlfriend to say?
A: "Honey, I'm late"
