伍德森回忆翻滚弗迪斯

Technician Reviews the Rolling Stones, Nov. 16, 1965

NC State Chancellor Randy Woodson and his wife Susan know exactly what happened to Keith Richards’ rented yellow Chevrolet Impala from the summer of 1975.

沃尔夫帕克(Wolfpack)的前几个是当时在阿肯色州福迪斯(Fordyce)的高中恋人,当时理查兹(Richards)和滚石乐队的吉他手罗恩·伍德(Ron Wood)带着大brag的座右铭,“福迪斯:两倍,是天堂的两倍。”

石头舌头 -  twitterThe antiestablishment bandmates and two members of their entourage, fresh off an Independence Day concert in Memphis,stopped en route to a July 6 show in Dallas要在4点餐厅和车站享用午餐,这是一家自助餐的自助餐,理查兹(Richards)订购了一条16盎司的t骨牛排,上面放着炸薯条,上面放着棕色的肉汁 - 建议使用炸薯条 - 木材在自助餐中有两只炸鸡的帮助。

两人声称他们不喜欢食物,这可能就是为什么他们只留下1.65美元的小费。因此,他们花了很多时间,具体取决于谁在讲故事,在餐厅的浴室里几分钟或四分之三的时间,消耗了70年代的娱乐刺激物,这些兴奋剂被藏在门板和黑斑羚的其他秘密位置。没关系,考虑到餐厅的单人座约翰的大小,餐厅老板总是说这几乎是不可能的。

但是,这是一个传说的故事,made famous by Richards in his autobiographyLifeand grown into legend by the people of Fordyce, each and every one of whom now claims to have been on the steps of city hall when half of the world’s most dangerous band was detained there exactly 40 years ago this week.

滚石1965嵌入“In the whole of the United States there was perhaps no sillier place to stop with a car loaded with drugs—a conservative, redneck southern community not happy to welcome different-looking strangers,” Richards writes in his autobiography.

The Woodsons, of course, don’t agree with that characterization of their hometown, birthplace of legendary Alabama football coach Paul “Bear” Bryant and the place where Johnny Cash used to visit his aunt, who happened to live next door to the chancellor’s parents.

What is not disputed is this: When the two rockers and their two followers left the restaurant, Fordyce police officers Joe Taylor and Eddie Childers, saw the Impala swerve a little and decided to pull it over. They found no huge stash of rock-n-roll drugs, just a small bag with less than two grams of cocaine, a gold-plated spoon, trunkful of booze and a leather-sheathed hunting knife that may have been illegal.

根据传说,理查兹说:“你知道我们是谁吗?我们是滚石乐队。”

One of the officers said: “I don’t care who you are. We’re rolling your a** to city hall.”

They charged Richards with reckless driving and possession of a banned weapon, one of the roadies with possession of an illegal substance, and detained all four at city hall. It was a pretty loose detainment. Wood rode through the hallways on an impounded bicycle; Richards occasionally went to the backdoor to sign autographs. A television crew made the 70-mile drive down from Little Rock, and phone calls came in from around the world. (阅读有关事件的经过深入研究的说法。)

By 11 p.m., there was a full-on street festival in downtown Fordyce, an earlier version of Packapalooza with a better headliner.

Rolling Stones 1989 embedJudge Thomas Wynne—Susan Woodson’s uncle—was called in from a long day on the golf course to issue search warrants for the yellow Impala. After it was inspected by state police officers, Richards, Wood and the two roadies were brought into the courtroom. By all accounts, things got a little heated between the charging officers, the police chief and prosecuting attorney Frank Wynne—Susan Woodson’s father—as the judge tried to figure out what to do with half of rock-n-roll’s biggest bad boys.

总理说:“苏珊的父亲拯救了这一天,因为他已经和滚石乐队的律师(阿肯色州本地人比尔·卡特)一起上学。”“他打电话给比尔说,‘你最好在这里拿一架飞机,接送这些男孩。’”

卡特从孟菲斯乘坐一架小型飞机出庭,发现了另一架飞机,驶向理查兹,伍德和其他两个飞往达拉斯的飞机,参加了第二天的音乐会。

Richards pleaded guilty to reckless driving and paid a $162.50 fine. The concealed weapon charge was dismissed. In 2006, then-Arkansas州长迈克·赫卡比(Mike Huckabee)赦免了理查兹(Richards).

But what happened to the impounded Yellow Impala? Richards even lamented in his book that he never found out its fate.

滚石1994理查兹说:“我们把它留在了充满浓汤的车库里。”“我想知道那些事情发生了什么。也许他们从未将面板脱掉。也许有人仍在开车,仍然充满了sh **。”

The Woodsons know—at least about the car. They’d like to go backstage Wednesday night when石头回到卡特 - 芬利体育场,出场第四次,正好50年后他们首先扮演雷诺斯体育馆.

伍德森说:“传说是警察局长会驾驶它。”

  1. 1984 alum ~ my son & I met Ron Wood in BRI over the Christmas holidays. Such a nice man & chatted with my boy and signed his autograph on a box of matches at the fashionable hotel ~ “The Landing.” An epic night.

  2. His name is Keith RICHARD! Talk about doing your research….how often has this name been misspelled or misquoted??

  3. I was a young Fordyce City Police Officer that long day and night. Most of what has been reported is true, but some has been stretched a bit.

  4. Is this the same Randy Woodson who once tried to fill a shower stall with water so that he and a friend could swim in it?!
