When I toured with Rod Stewart {I played the police whistle},
we used to sit back and dream of the future, laying on a bed of groupies, and speculate what saw brand would prevail.
Rod used the {newfangled then} McColluchs on his rolling
farms, I was a Stihl man, but still enjoyed my Husqvarna
dirtbike. Our young roadie, a young Walt Galer, preached and
bragged about his Shindaiwa, and we all laughed about it.
Young Johnny Lambert, a cowbell player from hell, liked saw brands that scared even us, the cream of the rock world at
that time. Rocknroll and chainsaws are the same topic.
The a young upstart, named Nugent, came along, singing about
his cat and carrying a Bicentennial Poulan, and we all laughed,
little knowing our buddy, Keith Moon, an Echo man, would perish
a couple of years later, then Bonham, a closet Homelite man
would die a few years later.
But I digress terribly.
But I was actually at the Who concert in Cinn. in 1979, which made
festival seating unpopular for a while. I was @ no. 10 in the
door on that fateful night.
I digress again...... I am sorry.
Little did we know that Poulan would prevail in the end, even
painting their saws Orange and putting a Nordic name on them.
Rock on brothers!
