my friend tom greenleaf (WHERE ARE YOU TOM????) made some
bumper stickers back in 83 that featured a cop car chasing some dead heads in a hertz rental car
 the heads were all hanging out of the car  which was sporting a few stickers itself and the hertz tags and the black and white in pursuit had the siren going and the cops didnt look to happy chasing themsleves down a few deadheads..the TEXT on the sticker was in big black letters

                      "WHEREVER WE GO THE PEOPLE ALL COMPLAIN"

  One morning after the 3rd HULT show in1983, we were in the lobby of the hilton next door to the hult with about 15 people ,checking out of the hotel and having bloody mary's,and chilling WITH PHIL LESH. PHIL was sitting in the lobby waiting on his ride or whatever, and this one HEAD had a box of bumper stickers he was letting PHIL look thru. There must have been 50 or
more stickers in there.So i ran and got Tom and told him to bring his stickers to  the lobby and give oneto PHIL ...so phil is handed the aformentioned sticker and sez with the BIG PHIL LAUGH      "HAW HAW i like this one but i wouldnt put it on my car ! "
 When phil gets up to leave the HEAD offers phil his choice of stickers,phil sez no thanx man but i will keepTHIS ONE.  PHIL dug toms sticker WHEREVER WE GO THE PEOPLE ALL
COMPLAIN and he kept it  ANYWAY 2 days later in park city,UTAH we are walking
towards the gate when, from behind us on the road, CHEERS start to be heard rising from the DEAD HEAD foot traffic as LO and BEHOLD >>>PHIL is cruising up the drive towards the show,driving a dark blue rental from HERTZ accopanied by a woman in the passenger          seat.>>>> as PHIL cruises by us we see that THE MAN has put tom G's sticker on the rear of his rental CAR  ALRIGHT PHIL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  it was PHILS favorite sticker
and we just freaked YAHOO!!!!! screaming and waving at phils car and phil
gives a nice little wave back man what a laugh   true story      i miss the days
