His head was shaved, leaving astrological signs of hair scattered about his scalp.

The band set up and, as was often the case, George and the other vocalists were AWOL.

The band (I can never remember which one is P and which one is F) played as SMOKIN'
20-min instrumental funk set and all of a sudden, this white limo comes screaming across
the grass of the park. Skids to a stop stage-side and the 4(?) or 5(?) singers LITERALLY
tumble out one of the back doors like clowns, though dressed in heavy brown monks' robes.
.
They stumble up to and onto the stage and the moment they get onstage, the stumbling
stops. An incredible and FUN show. Second-to-last song, George throws back his monk's
hood to reveal his shaven head. Last song, he throws off the robe and is clad in NOTHING
but a black Speedo (he was really in shape).
.
The 400+ lb woman behind me grabs ME (li'l ol' 140 lb underweight me) in a death-bearhug
from behind while SCREAMING his name at the top of her lungs. I felt like Rog from "What's
Happenin'" -- "you're killin' me, Mama!!!"
