I saw this advertised on eBay recently, and as luck would have it, I was at The Fillmore a few weeks later. I asked one of the managers about this before we went home (had a 4 symbols shirt on) and we struck up a conversation), he confirmed it. Apparently more than a few people have asked. BTW, if you ever do go to the place (SW corner Fillmore and Geary), the Avocado poster is upstairs in the bar/lounge, behind the bar on the upper left side of the wall. The poster with Country Joe and the Fish is in the vicinity too, near some Steve Miller stuff. Looking around it's a trip to imagine what that place must have been like in early 1969. And drive by Kezar Stadium (SE end of Golden Gate Park) where they played in 1973. I can't imagine the hippies next door in the Haight were very happy. 😄

Unfortunately, no. I can't. Over lunch today, I asked. He never heard back from the guy, and barely remembered him. No problem, we talked for a few hours about turning WLL into a radio single, marketing HOTH dressed up like a football captain (American), working at Atlantic, etc.. He's pitching an idea for a rock drummer's exhibit to the Musical Instrument Museum here in Scottsdale. As a Gen-X'er, I don't really see the value in such a book. Anyone alive then knew how dead the hippie movement had become. Maybe the Millennials will pick read and understand more. Jerry = Jerry Greenberg.

I ran into a neighbor today who said they were recently interviewed by someone working on a new LZ book. It seems to address the early days of LZ in the U.S., and how they "broke" in those first years. Anyone else heard about this? I'm sorry I forgot the name of the writer already. I'll ask Jerry more the next time I see him.
