Sara and other wonderers,
Saw your post on the Dylan list about the Hog Farm. Yes, it does
still exist and some of its members can be found at Dead shows and
other festivals in the
Bay Area and elsewhere where they are oftentimes called on to help
with keeping the masses mellow and out of jail. They reside in a
variety of places around the west -- California, Northern and
Southern, New Mexico, and sometimes elsewheres. When I lived in
Berkeley, their presence was everywhere and they were some of the
coolest nicest folks around. Wavy does a non-tour every once in
awhile, either promoting a book, a cause, or Nobody for President or
all three. As you can imagine, the original Farmers' kids are now
having kids, so that means there are three generations of Hog
Farmers.
If you ever go to a Dead show and see a big bus or two with a few
generations of freaks hanging out, stop by and say hi.
