+*"'''The True Story of Calvin & His Hitch-hikers'''" by [[Cal Schenkel]]:
+<blockquote>"My 39 Pontiac was in the shop & so I had borrowed a car from Frank. It was  this 1959 white Mark VIIII Jaguar that used to belong to [[Captain Beefheart]]  that [[Janet Ferguson| Janet]] was using at the time. When it worked. You know, the one they  slashed the seats in (but I don't remember that). I just left Frank's  house & I'm stopped at the corner of Mulholland & Laurel Canyon Blvd  waiting for a red light to change, when I notice these 2 hitch-hikers, a  hippie couple standing there waiting for a ride. The next thing I know  they are getting in the back of the car. I guess they must have thought I offered them a ride (I didn't tell them to come into my car or motion them  or anything-- I wasn't even thinking of it), so I ask them where they are  going & they didn't say ANYTHING! I drive down Laurel Canyon Blvd past the  Log Cabin, past Harry Houdini's, past the country store & into Hollywood.  (I'm with Sherri at the time, but I forgot that until she told me a couple  of months ago-- & she remembers all this too!) I get to the bottom of the  hill, I was going to turn right. I kind of asked them "look I'm turning  right, do you want to get out here?" They didn't say anything. They were just blank. I figured they were on acid or something. I just couldn't  communicate with them. I wasn't sure what to do, so I just continued on to my destination. When I get there I said, "OK, this is where I'm going.  Good-bye!" They just stayed in the car & didn't get out. So I parked the  car, got out & went up to my studio & started to work. I was working on the album cover for [[Uncle Meat]]. This is in my studio that was a dentist's office over a hotdog joint on Melrose. Every once in a while I'd look out  of the window to see if they were gone but they were still sitting in the  back seat of the car. An hour or two later, I looked out the window & I noticed they were gone. I thought, "finally!" Then shortly afterwards, I  saw that they were back! They went to the supermarket for a loaf of bread & lunchmeat & started making sandwiches in the back of the car. They were  eating their lunch! Then they left."</blockquote>
