Seal Place has a nice intro to the Hampton Grease Band
The Hampton Grease Band were a main stay of the community and seemed always ready to play for a good cause. This show was memorable because I was at Emory and knew the Young Republicans who supported Nixon and his Vietnam policy. They stopped just short of being pro-war activists.
We had driven to Emory’s AMB, really enjoyed the Greaseband experience of that evening, even though Young Republicans could be heard outside trying to be disruptive. I had driven The Celestial Omnibus, my hippie VW bus. We returned to leave and the bus would not go backwards. We assumed a flat tire but found more when we checked in the dark. ‘Someone’ had slashed all four tires to ribbons; their idea of debate. Luckily a friend ran Mother’s Tire Company and brought over four replacements.
