Remember the days when "generation X" and "twentysomething" were used interchangably? Attending this event was the single most GenX-y thing I ever did, other than sit around and rehash Brad Bunch episodes. I'm even kind of proud of having been there. Not because I got to see an up-and-coming Beck (and a shoulda-been up-and-coming that dog), but because I got a firsthand taste of how crazy Evel Knievel really was. Not crazy in the "jump over 50 flaming trucks" sense, but rather the "we need to eliminate the dollar and start stockpiling gold" sense. Seriously, that's what he talked about. That and other loony stuff that had nothing to do with riding motorcycles. It was spellbinding. I hope someone digs out an old video and posts it on YouTube. Until then, there's this.
