White Rabbit performed by the Bags, August 1979, live at the Hong Kong Cafe. Someday I will open a combination pastry shop and bookstore and it will be named Feed Your Head. Enjoy.

I can’t do that. I have to feel that transition into a stage personality. Apart from your everyday experience, there’s another side of you that can go to places that the everyday person can’t go.”
