This was backstage, before a concert. In a weird way Chris was very traditional, in terms of his presentation to the crowd. “When you show up at a gig, you dress one level up from your audience.” All of the beer was for after, not before.

Linda was arguably was one of the great singers of all time during the 70’s and 80’s. This is her backstage at a concert which was kind of a benefit concert for refugees in Cambodia. Joan Baez, a very famous folk singer at the time and “a general pain in the ass” was also there.

“I had to get up at 6 in the morning, because that’s sun up. And I got THEM to get up, which I’m pretty impressed with.” The trick was to get Roger Craig to okay it. He got up before the sun comes up anyways, so he didn’t really care. He told the other two guys to show up, and well, they did.
