all right let's get right to it Jay paint the word picture for us um years ago uh when
I was a disc jockey in in Charlotte North Carolina we would open uh all sorts of places
and I used to help open car dealerships and have the remote and give stuff out and t-shirts
and all that be a big promotion promotion and we would announce it and I'm going to
be there so I was very young I had the the giant afro and stuff and uh the white man's
at White Man's afros so um The Lone Ranger was working for the Chrysler Corporation Dodge
and he was the spokesman so he had come to Charlotte to open up the the dealership and
I was going to be the disc jockey it was Clayton Moore more of the lone range but it later
in his career he really thought he might be the Lone Ranger yes he he stood very erect
at all times he wore the mask at all times he had the six guns and he really didn't deal
with you other than as The Lone Ranger right well when he's there and the little kids went
over to him my friend Mike Martin who was a record promoter with with long crazy hair
while the kids were busy over here he and I went behind the dumpster and we herbed up
so we from Europe
and then when I came back into the dealership everything The Lone Ranger said was hysterical
to us right so so we're there working and all of a sudden the promotion ends we're getting
ready to leave and uh the car doesn't come for The Lone Ranger so he's standing a very
erect with the mask and the six guns and no one's dealing with him and I say gee Mike
you know we need to get him home sometimes he's got to get back to those guys to the
red carpet in at uh on on Moorhead street so I say um uh Mr Lone Ranger uh would you
like us to take you and he goes you know yes I have this old beat up Volvo and so uh we
get the Lone Ranger dressed in the whole regalia in the back of my beat up of Volvo and we
are trying not to act stoned as we get into the front of the Volvo and so we're driving
on Independence Boulevard It's Five O'Clock there's not a sound in that car and we're
we're just sitting like this all of a sudden the guy decides to back up to get out of the
traffic and he smashes right into my car and I can I can hear the headlight break and it's
a huge Buick and he pulls off and I turn to Mike we're both completely loaded I go we
got it we got to catch this guy right so the Lone Ranger's in the back I floored the Volvo
and as we were chasing him and I might remind me of this whichever way we went The Lone
Ranger went in the opposite direction it's a matter of physics I don't know I don't know
he was braced and we weren't priced so we are chasing this huge Buick through the streets
of Charlotte North Carolina right to try and and catch the guy did you finally catch up
with it we did catch up with with the guy all right now I'm told that we have some videotape
yes we do we do have videotape so do we go right today let's let's all right let's go
