Bonnie,
  I was referring to the "staged" aspect wherein Zoyd needs to "perform"
in public to prove his state-o'-mind.
  Roky was in Rusk State Hospital, the place where Texas puts its
*criminally insane*, for several years in the '70s. Austin may be
loose but it ain't Santa Cruz..... This was before his federal rap.

(Going into the faux logger's bar with the *ladies chain saw* in drag
is a hoot, no?) Anyway, a logger's bar would be up the coast near
Ukiah, CA. I can't see Roky in a pulpwooder's bar in E. Texas...
