>3. Rodney King Beating/LA riots
But yeah - I remember seeing the video tape when it first came out.

And the day before the verdict I drove from Indiana to Denver. That night riots in Denver. Drove from Denver to San Diego the next day (yes - 1 day) and ran into riots in Vegas riots, the LA riots, and the San Diego student protests.

So much smoke in the air - but I was well out of the riot areas.

Note: I had just gotten the Beastie Boys Check your Head cassette that week (April 21st) and the trip started April 28th - I had that tape and Ice-T's O.G. and those are the ONLY two tapes I had for the 2 day trip.
