I worked with a guy named Vince. He followed the dead for years as a "homeless" deadhead. He sold socks to get to the next show (a sock-broker to tie it in). If he saved up enough, he would check into a motel and sell showers to other deadheads. He had a kid with another deadhead and they had a kid. The kid and partner got into meth when the kid was in high school (San Diego area). They were pressuring him for child support so, he claimed, they could keep up the meth.
We were moving shops and it was just Vince and I left load pallets for the forklift. Vince takes off his shirt and says, "Hey Shaggy, what do you think of this?"
He turned around and had a full back tattoo of a swastika. "Us white boys got to stick together, eh? Seen Oildale lately? It's Mexican now"
I told him to shut his mouth and get out of my face in a much more crass manner. Sent his ass home and told my boss to fire him. As he got on his stupid Honda motorcycle I said something like, "You ever mention any of that racist bullshit around me or this shop, you won't be talking for much longer. This shop doesn't tolerate Nazis or Peckerwood assholes."
Like 2/3 of our work force were Latino as was/is my partner. Fuck that guy. I think he came back a for a weeks but and kept trying to appologize but he eventually just kind of faded away and no one really noticed. He never came back. I was/ pissed that guy thought because of the color of my skin I must abide by some prison politics crap.

John Doe and Exene were really nice when I met them around 2000. Exene took time and talked to me for a bit (I don't remember what about) and signed a book for my girlfriend at the time. John Doe just mulled around the crowd and cheered on Exene.
