...there was a barrier that day, I had no money to get back on the bus, no bus pass, I had nothing on me. I would have had to go and tell someone, or I would have been caught by the California Highway Patrol trying to climb the thing. I would have been saved and put in a mental hospital, and then I'd be at home, dealing with my bipolar, hopefully doing it the right way.

Lance Corporal Jose (Syco) Tasayco was on the unit's earliest patrol outside the wire in March. "The first day was an eye opener. We got contact, that first patrol.

Unlike rock fans, most of whom are attracted to the music's integration of styles, some country fans--particularly those who call up radio stations in a lather--take it upon themselves to patrol a wall of genre purity. Elvis Presley and Johnny Cash got passes because they were sui generis. Not so Buck Owens, who in 1965, after a few experimental dalliances, took out an advertisement with a career-saving loyalty oath, "Pledge to Country Music," in the Music City News, promising...
