Leaving a Dead show in Atlanta one night in my '66 Bonne. Sitting at a light waiting for it to change. Looked over & 2 older darker cops were leaning against a lamppost, giving us the eyeball. One looked at me & said, "'65 right?" I said, "Yes sir, 65 never go over it." Then I realized what he was talking about, & I said "No, man, '66.". He walked over, put his hand on the fender, tilted his head down by the hood & said, "Damn, you can hardly hear it runnin'." Light changed & we were glad to be in the South.
Had seen the same 2 guys on the floor in the show. I was with a friend who weighs 450#, mostly muscle. Guy routinely takes naps whenever convenient. They looked at him napping in his seat & halfway in he aisle & I guess assumed he was passed-out. Same cop said, "We gotta get him outta here." Partner took one look at Charlie & said, "Which end you wanna be holdin' when he wakes up?" & they walked away.
