RALLY ’ROUND JAH THRONE

FLEA AND I RAN ALL THE WAY HOME AFTER GETTING THE NEWS THAT WE GOT THE OPENING SPOT FOR BAD BRAINS AT THE LINGERIE — WE WERE BOUNCING OFF THE WALLS. DAMN, BETTER REALLY HAVE OUR SHIT TOGETHER FOR THIS ONE! BIGGEST STAGE, BIGGEST P.A. SYSTEM YET — A REAL CLUB! AND THIS AWESOME BADASS BAND TO PLAY WITH.

I TRIPPED OUT WHEN [LINGERIE BOOKER] BRENDAN MULLEN OFFERED US THE SHOW. HELL, YEAH. I LOVED BAD BRAINS. ROCK FOR LIGHT HAD JUST CAME OUT, AND I WAS JUST SO EXCITED — THOUGHT THEY WERE TOTALLY THE FOREFRONT OF ROCK MUSIC AT THE TIME. I LIVED OVER IN THIS PLACE NEAR THE LINGERIE OFF OF MCCADDEN ON LELAND WAY, JUST BELOW SUNSET, AND IT WAS CALLED POT ALLEY BECAUSE THEY SOLD A LOT OF DRUGS OUT OF THERE. ONE BIG APARTMENT BUILDING WAS A CRACK HOUSE, AND THIS OTHER BUILDING, THEY JUST SOLD WEED OUT OF, AND THERE WERE ALL THESE GUYS IN THE STREET HUSTLING DRUGS. I WAS PSYCHED SITTING THERE IN MY CRIB PRACTICING BASS, WAITING, THINKING OVER AND OVER AGAIN LIKE A LITTLE KID, OMIGOD, WE’RE PLAYING WITH BAD BRAINS TONIGHT, CAN’T FUCKING BELIEVE IT, CAN’T FUCKING BELIEVE IT. WE’RE PLAYING WITH BAD BRAINS TONIGHT, AND THEN LOOKING OUT MY WINDOW AND SEEING [BAD BRAINS’ LEAD SINGER] H.R. COME ROLLIN’ DOWN THE STREET LOOKING TO BUY HERB. HOW THE FUCK DID HE DIVINE SO FAST WHERE THE ACTION WAS? I WAS HAPPY AS HELL TO SEE HIM. I WENT OUTSIDE AND HOOKED HIM UP — WE GOT STONED OUT AND THEN PLAYED THAT NIGHT, AND IT WAS A BLAST.

WE WENT ON FIRST AND THEY INVITED US SPONTANEOUSLY TO PLAY WITH THEM AT THE END OF THEIR SET. THEY WERE SO RELAXED ABOUT IT, SUPERCOOL GUYS, LIKE IT’S JUST A SHOW, LET’S JUST PLAY. I LOVED HOW DOWN-TO-EARTH THEY WERE FOR ALL THEIR MIGHT AS MUSICIANS AND THE GREAT ARTISTS THEY ARE.
