Chicago was touring in the mid-70's (probably 8 or 10 era — so 75-ish) and they played in Reno. Guy who told me this story is hanging out outside the gig when he sees people pull up in a bus and they're all wearing tour jackets. Figures crew and maybe some band members so he gets their attention and asks for autographs and stuff. Somehow —and this was never explained to me— somebody "in the band" asks him if he smokes pot, he says yeah and the "band member" says give me twenty dollars and I'll get you some pot from back east. He hands over the money after the guy gives an autograph. This guy notices he signed his name "D. Seraphine" so, being a fan, he knows that he's just gotten the drummer's autograph. Well, "Danny" told this guy to "wait right here, I'll be back in fifteen minutes with your stuff." Waited an hour. Nothing. The twenty was supposed to be for tickets, so getting into the gig was not an option.
This guy, to this day, swears up and down that he was ripped off by Danny Seraphine.
