Tonight "Mad Dog," now roadie and former band member with Mick Ronson, guitar, told me he got the nickname from Ian. On Saturday night "Mad Dog" gave me a partial set list from the City Winery gig. I asked him how he got the nickname and he said because he's got lots of ideas and I asked about what and he said about everything. 

Ian signed the Licorice Pizza, Bellflower, California hand bill. I told him he and Ronson were on a record store appearance for the Schizophrenic tour. Ian said he vaguely remembers the day. I told him I came for him to sign the first Mott The Hoople LP. On the inside gatefold it has the band members heads on all on the same leather jacket of Mick Ralphs, guitar. Ian repeated the story that he has told in various forms over the years. Ian said that the body is Mick's who was "young and thin and the rest of us were old and fat." I told him that's the same story that he told me that day so he must remember the event. 

Before he got into his car I told him I was glad to see that he was not retiring after releasing "Salvation" since the story had been going around that he would retire after the song came out. Ian said it's on the box set coming out in September but he has no plans to retire.

The harmonica is used for only one song: "23A Swan Hill."
