    I remember Dave saying that he was envisioning The Statue of Liberty as if she were a real live fox walking down the street and he was standing out in front of the candy store being lewd (as usual) towards her. I remember him saying that it's a "Sexy type of patriotism."

    I still have the interview on tape somewhere.
    EAT US AND SMILE!!!!

            "It's the Stature of Liberty. Everywhere you look it's Statue T-Shirt, Statue Sweatshirt, Statue hat, Statue Burger 'Home of the original Statue Burger.' So I pictured what if she were a real gal and she was walking down the street, and it was a kinda thing like, 'Hey baby, need a hot dog to go with that shake?' But, that didn't sound very patriotic see, so I kinda had to re-dial the words a little, tighten the screws a little, and this is what you end up with, The Yankee Rose."

                The guy who designed the statue claimed that he used the face of his mother and the body of his girlfriend.

                    Max, dude.....

                    Great avatar. Reminds me of when my fraternity worked security for Debbie Harry & Co. @ the Raven Theater in Healdburg, CA for a fundraiser!!! Toad the Wet Sprocket opened (we were all "What's with the midget drummer"?) But the guy kicked ass....I told my brothers, Ain't nothin wrong with the little people, Roth has 'em as bodyguards!!!"

                    She was coked our of her gourd & making eyes @ the 3 of us guarding the backstage area...funny as hell... good show!! Her guitarist/husband promptly whisked her the hell outta there when the set was over.

                    Played all the great songs. Who didn't dig Blondie back in the day?
                    "Honey, my shirt got itself torn up. My shirt tore itself on that stripper's hand, and I need it to be sewed up for the show."
                    "No problem, Dave, no problem. Say hello to Fluffy."
                    "Fuck you, Fluffy."
                    "No, no, you're going to upset Fluffy."
                    "I ain't saying hello to no stuffed bear."
                    "You know, now that I think about it, it's going to take a little longer to sew up that shirt than I was thinking."
                    "Hi Fluffy, how you been?"
                    "Now that I'm thinking of it even more, it's going to take half the time, Double D, Diamond Dave! Would you hold Fluffy?"
                    "N--- yeah."

                        Hecubus has the story right, the Statue of Liberty was being refurbished and you heard about it all the time. DLR just put his own spin on it and, if I remember right, the EEAS band went live on the fourth of July in 86 to debut it. Pretty cool.

                        I was surprised when he didn't sing this with the Boston Pops this summer.

                                I was actually fortunate enough to be one of the founding fathers at our chapter @ Sonoma State U. up here in NorCal.

                                One of the best things I ever did in school. The non greeks called it buying friends, I saw it as instant sex!!

                                MUHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAA!!!

                                    We had SAE's on our campus as well. They were newer so I didn't know too many but you know how it differs from campus to campus? We had about 130 active members while I was there. We were the second biggest frat back then. We had the attitude of "Work Hard, Play Hard and Stay Hard!!!!" LOL!!!! Great times and I still have a shitload of brothers of whom I still consider close friends.

                                    Our house was definitely the biggest party house among the three big ones. Oh man, now I'm getting sentimental and realizing how fucking old I am. I mean, WE always had the biggest ragers on campus.

                                    Those were the days my friend.





                                    Cheers my brothers and to you Hec!!!!!
