On that day in 1980 - 23 July

More memories of Bosco ... Not sure where the Flamin Groovies gig that didn't happen was, but UXA and the Gears were playing at the Troubadour.

23 July 1980

I didn't know what to do. I wanted to go see the Flamin Groovies and so did Bosco and he said to stop by the Troubadour cause UXA were playing first and he'd go with me afterward. So I stopped there and got in [free via] the back and they didn't go on right away and I kept thinking I had to leave but I didn't want to cause like EVERYONE was there; then someone said they didn't think the Groovies were playing and I called to make sure and it was true, they had cancelled or something. I was happy! I mean I had really wanted to see them, but on another night. I'm so glad I didn't go down there!

UXA were fantastic with Bosco! Especially that funky song he wrote. We [probably Elliot and I, or maybe Dez] sat on the side of the stage. I didn't watch the Gears, and Puke, Spit & Guts were disgusting. [I don't even remember that name; who were they?!]

Tracy [from Redd Kross] had brought her little brother and this mother just dropped off her kids, not more than 5 or 6!! [I guess the Troubadour didn't have an age policy!] Dez and I sat in the park and drank and fled when a cop car went by and luckily it was all still there when I returned later and I drank by myself.

It was just fun, talking to everyone. Jennie comes up talking about "the cutest boy in the world" and there was Michael Livingston, with his hair brown, [I can't remember it being another color!] and I say, "And there he is!" He was a bit nicer than recently but still ...

I wish I could've stayed longer but I had to get some sleep. [I was staying at the Manor in Hollywood and had to be at work in Gardena by 8 am - oy vey!] Bosco walked me to my car and kissed me goodbye - it seemed he liked me - I didn't know what I thought! He and Elliot said they were gonna wake me up when they came home but they didn't.
