You are right... funny I was just reading about them last week. The other two I'm not sure if they are still around would be Bells and A&P. We used to have a Murphy's in Lancaster... kind of like Vidler's.
The old green stamp days... my Mom used to wind up with books full of them. I remember going to AM&A's with her, I think she bought a new mixer with them.
Guess they've been replaced by cash back on credit cards.
Sorry to hear this Pete... hope you are on the mend soon. This should give you an idea of what you're looking at and what to do, there are different levels so I guess you have to figure out which one you are: https://www.webmd.com/fitness-exercise/hamstring-strain#1
Usually we had one person who was just smoking weed or hash just to keep an eye on things... no one turning into a bird and flying off of the roof... stuff like that. I really doubt this story, the flashing alone would keep anyone from concentrating on anything, much less pitching a MLB game. Best example I can think of flashing is Grace in the Uncle Sam Blues vid from Woodstock.
Thing is, those "pollsters" must be young or didn't look very far back. I would add Jorma, Harvey Mandell, Terry Kath, Glen Campbell, Al Kooper, etc. Way ahead of Brian May.
I have heard of all of them... I think, but c'mon... Robert Fripp, Frank Zappa, Steve Howe, Al Dimeola, Jimmy Page, Clapton, Duane Allman... that poll is just what I mentioned, for a laugh.
Wait. How could you you not have seen this one... only known recorded concert to date of the mostly original Traffic (no Dave Mason). He rips it up pretty good on this film, 1974... my avatar lol. Stoned out pretty good too, acid is fun.
Not sure what world the guitar world pollsters live in but it must be a small, tiny one.
