Interview with Neon Park by Charlie Haas published in Wax Paper (1979)

WP: How did your association with Little Feat begin?

Neon: It began with a hitchhiker. Years ago, right after Weasels Ripped My Flesh came out.

WP: Where?

Neon: Sunset and Cahuenga. (Lowell George attended Hollywood High School near there at Sunset and Highland)

WP: And who was that hitchhiker, Neon?

Neon: Ivan. Ivan the ice cream man. Songwriter extraordinaire. He was hitchhiking in the rain in a tee-shirt, didn't have a coat. He was getting very wet. He had a guitar with him, stuffed under his shirt. That's why I picked him up. He was going to Lowell's house. I was coming from The Mothers' office, where I'd been talking to Herbie Cohen about getting paid.

WP: Did you?

Neon: Yeah. So I was on my way home, and there was this fellow human being in misery, and I picked him up. Almost got hit by a bus doing it. He said I should come with him to Lowell's.
