On our drive after the show in Salt Lake, we got word that George Thorogood and Co. were all hacked off at us for saying they didn’t actually finish their 50 states in 50 days tour in the early ’80s. And they were looking for our manager and demanding an apology. Well, I don’t work real well with people demanding stuff, so we can look at this two ways: 1. We can say, ‘Whatever bitch’ and basically do nothing; or 2. We can say that we’re sorry. What surprises me is that these guys know who we are at all, let alone feel threatened by anything we could ever say in the press. Are they kidding?
