...held in sweltering heat on an inhospitable decommissioned Air Force base in upstate New York. The overflowing Port-o-Sans that no one bothered to empty? The formidable mounds of garbage that no one collected? The rip-off prices--$4 for a bottle of water, $7.50 for a chicken sandwich? In retrospect, it seems odd that rock fans would travel halfway across the country and pay $150 a ticket to be treated worse than illegal Cuban refugees...

In fact, the one attractive woman who spoke to me that week wasn't interested in me when she found out I wrote for a TV show. She gave me a whole lot more attention when she found out I wrote for TIME. Until she said she'd never seen my byline. That's when the whole Shane thing backfired. After that week I decided...
