MadScreamingGallery Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 That's terrible. Cops react when they aren't needed but when they are they don't seem to show. lzfan715, I asked my husband why there were no cops around. He told me that, after the fans looted and burned everything they could, everyone left the grounds. Surrounding the entire perimeter were law enforcement people and national guardsmen. This was only a few years after the Kent State massacres so my husband thought that the guard held off going in so as to avoid something like what happened at Kent State. We're not sure. That's just his speculation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jahfin Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 I hope you didnt mean I have a history of racial slurs becaue that couldnt be further from the truth. I talk about music. Cant speak for this other guy that calls himself Tull. You read way more into my posts than you should. Yes, I was referring to "Jethro Tull".

dragster Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 Speaking of festivals, I was leaving San Fransico in 2005 and thought I would see if the Altamont speedway is still there. I found it. It is still there. It's a very well kept up black top race track. I took some pictures too. That area looks just like it did in Gimme Shelter. Your last sentence has that spooky feeling.

JethroTull Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 And I don't know what the fighting is about, but just let it go. The fighting is over a poster that has a history of making racial remarks since joining the site. When no one said a word about icantquityoubabe's use of the word "japped" he had to make an issue of it, thus stirring the pot even more. Lzfan715 suggested letting this go, but you couldn't do it. Now you go ahead and refer to me as a racist AGAIN. I let it go the the first time. Since when is using the word jewish or homosexual racist? I made no hateful remarks about either group. I read those two words everyday in my daily newspaper, and that seems to be okay. I've read dozens of reviews about the Dictators and their religion is constantly brought up. No problems. Use those words on a Zeppelin forum and all hell breaks loose. Some oversensitive users here didn't like it, so it gets reported to the admins and it gets deleted. Those other users and maybe even you appear to me to be a bit hypocritical. Unfortunately, true bigots and racists know how to disguise their true intents and use expressions like "japped out". The person who used that, has used similar remarks more than once, I let it go the first time. I've heard more anti-semitic remarks than I care to remember through-out childhood and into being an adult, so I know what it's about. And BTW, my rap topic made no mention of color or anything of that nature. YOU started in with the Kanye West garbage. Go ahead type your reply, I'm done. I enjoy talking music with you, but if I'm going to be held accountable for what other perceive to be inappropriate, let's hold everybody to the same rules.

Actually no one said a fucking word until YOU pointed it out. You also seem to have not only a short but a selective memory when it comes to making racist remarks on this board. If you bring up such subjects you should fully expect to be called on them. Take your ball and go home if you want but that doesn't make you any less guilty of the things you've said. Perhaps if you didn't want any controversy you would have been better served by not saying anything about icantquityoubabe's use of the word "japped" but you opted not to do that so you've got no one to blame but yourself. Like I've said, you're a shit stirrer, nothing more, nothing less. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joelmon Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 I'd like to go to a Fleetwood Mac show, but fat chance of that. I was given a ticket to see Fleetwood Mac the day of their show in February of 1972 and couldn't get a ride. I still have the full ticket....it was them, John Mayall and Long John Baldry on the bill as well.... Would've been the Future Games/Bare Trees tour....dayum !!!!

Joelmon Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 No ride to Fleetwood Mac sucks. But no ride to Pink Floyd sucks even worse. It was the only chance I ever had to see them. I wonder if I would have made it out alive though as I heard so many reports of trouble there. It was in Hamilton, Ontario (Canada) in early 70s. Anyone familiar with this show? I bet pinkzeppelin is ! He lives in Hamilton, but hasn't been on the board in ages. I miss him. His parents saw several Floyd shows in the 70s and no doubt they were at the one you mention.
