I remember you telling me years ago that some English Hell’s Angels didn’t even have motorcycles. I guess you’ve gotta start somewhere, but c’mon, mate. I’m learning a lot from this series. Dan O’s right–excellent writing and reporting, with just enough suspense to keep me needing more.

As your email promo said, “America’s most notorious outlaw motorcycle gang got a weekend gig playing rent-a-cop for the concert that killed the sixties.” That sums it up brilliantly, Bill, keep up the good work!

The “next chapter” is always anticipated by me, as well as others. Musically speaking, those were groovy times compared to the scene today.

This series just keeps getting better, reading like chapters of the book it needs to be. I love the way you are building suspense in this segment and the one before, and I’m really enjoying getting the details of events I have up to now only known the broad outlines of. Looking forward to the next installment.

I had no idea that there were “English” Hell’s Angels. I imagine them having scones and tea, then telling someone, “Terribly sorry, but we’re going to beat the living daylights out of you…”

Lots of info here that I didn’t know. The rest of the story was told somewhere in the lyrics to Don McLean’s “American Pie” as I recall. That might make an interesting talk show, Mick and Mclean discusing the lyrics to “American Pie” and “Sympathy for the Devil.” No Hells Angels required.
