Unexpected Good FortuneTravelling through Seattle a good 15 years ago, I remembered an old friend I used to blow up Action Men with. We were bored, nothing to lose , so I looked him up in the phonebook. He was the only one of that name in there. "Come and stay," goes he.
Me and my mates were living in a car at that point so a bed was a novelty. After searching for a while, we rock up to a very posh mansion on Puget Sound with its own Helipad. "Come flying," goes he.
Has your luck held out recently?

Heroin=Concert for Blind PeopleI was working in Toronto Canada when Keith Richards was busted at the airport for (insert name of any illegal substance here, think it was H) The court ordered him to do a concert for the blind, go figure, and from my corner office on the morning tickets went on sale, I watched the long, un-moving line at a ticket outlet inside a nearby shopping mall. AS my buddy & I went to rubberneck the situation from the outside it was announced that there were no more tickets to be sold, other than the people immediately in front of the ticket counter. In the ensuing near riot the fans inside tried to rush the counter and the police had to rush and form a cordon in front of them My bud & I simply stepped over the containing rope, joined the customers being served, and bought 6 tickets (the max). Back at work we scalped 4 tickets for a small fortune and went ourselves to the concert. It was held in a small civic auditorium & rumors were it would be Richards & Peter Tosh backing him. Amongst a pack of blind people we easily pushed our way to stage-side and were thrilled when the whole band appeared as the stage lights went up. The Stones played a full concert & debued "Some Girls" What a class act. Kudos forever......
