"In the other NJF riot in '71 I was actually in the middle of it - unwillingly. Almost got trampled by hundreds of drug-addled and alcohol fueled crazies"
Small world..Hope I didn't step on you Crafty! I think everyone was in the "free concert" frame of mind back in "71"!! I was just kind of camping out on the outside too when some of RI's finest decided that cracking a few "hippie" skulls would be fun. I still remember a very large "superior" officer who felt a baseball bat was an appropriate crowd control tool. Somehow I never felt sneeking into a concert was a capital offense? Ahh...the good old days
