Two things stick out in my memory about these shows. I left San Francisco, which had been hit by the Loma Prieta earthquake on Oct. 17th, to go to North Carolina, which was still recovering from a major hurricane (Andrew, I think.) Some one from a local radio station interviewed me in the hallways about the fact that I was smiling despite following disasters around the country. Also, I met a woman in NC whom I had met on a train from Paris to Munich in 1986. She had overheard the Dead playing on my headphones and asked me about it. I gave her some spiel and recommended a bunch of books from "the hippie canon." When I saw her that day in NC, she told me she'd read them all and gotten totally sucked in!
