I usually kept a couple of good ones for myself..... Stones, Who with Keith Moon and so forth.

It's time to introduce my cousin, Ranger Jim. I've mentioned him previously on D.U. Jim was a stoner: big time.

Now comes the Dylan Rolling Thunder tour. I get floor seats for wife and I and I get Jim, two seats on the side of the stage. Pointer Sisters were warm-up.

Wife and I get into our seats. Kid next to me, pokes me and says, "Right in front of us, It's Rodney Dangerfield." And goddam, it was Rodney in a tux. I guess his plan was to see Dylan and then perform at his club.

Pointer Sisters are over and I get out of my seat and go to where Jim is and, "Look where I am sitting. Rodney D is right in front of --WAIT. Rodney is out of his seat, right there." Rodney starts walking toward us.

Now Ranger Jim has a point-and-shoot camera that he takes out and immediately begins taking pictures of Rodney walking towards us (click) Rodney walking in the corridor (click) Rodney walking past the refreshment stand (click) ---Jim is now like an automaton, He's gonna get the best picture of Rodney that is possible.

--Rodney going into the mens' room (click) Rodney taking a whizz (click).

The guy was right. He got no respect.
