I didn't have any money, but was in New York City in Madison Square Garden and wanted to
see Bruce Springsteen. And we had gotten tickets and we had to pay for them. And my girlfriend
at the time, her father was a printer and gave us the in-store posters. So we figured
we could get a buck or two for them, and one cop came up and I said "two bucks, he says
"give me a poster" and I gave him one, he says "you're under arrest" and he took us
in you know. Threw us right in the paddy wagon and took us to jail. [Did you have to stay
overnight?] No, no, we even made it back for the show. They knew that we weren't, we weren't
you know like the real bootleggers we were just two kids who wanted to go to a show.
They kept the posters and I think we paid like a fifty dollar fine, so it was the tickets
and the fifty bucks you know, and we all got in trouble.
