Well .... That story sounds "possible" from what I've seen out there.
Rode my scooter out to Sturgis twice 15+ years ago (from Ohio).
It truly is the wild wild WILD west. Mad gold rush money grab type of environment.
There are very good bands playing everywhere all day all night, not to mention all the headliners.
Lots of non head liner bands want to play there to add it to their resume.
Never heard of or heard the Ohio Cure tribute band .... so who's to say.
As far as the waitresses .... well. They draw women/girls from all over the country
to work 2+ weeks during the rally. Not one of them looked like Carla from "Cheers" or Flo from "Alice".
They do make big money but I suspect that a lot of that comes for the bar as salary.
Myself and cohorts went to breakfast one morning at a local downtown diner. (way before the hardcore were up).
Went in and ended up sitting in a booth next to Indian Larry! (RIP). His rat bike was out front.
That would have been cool enough until our waitress walks over.
5'9" blonde 20 something playboy material and her waitress "uniform" did NOT cover much.
- I know .... I never thought I'd be writing to Penthouse Forum - .....
As we finished up she came over and asked if any of us could give her a ride back
to Tennessee at the end of the week. She was just there for Sturgis and the money.
I thought about selling my bike and renting a winnebago!
$70k who knows, band got fired for no reason ... who knows.
Is it wild yes!
Should the City or State let it go on with Covid ... probably not.
There is just too damn much money flowing in for them to say no.
Thanks over and out.
