This story is about the guy from the band Blues Traveler, a band you probably don’t recall. But the story is too good to pass up. I would share this with you even if it happened to my uncle.
Here we go.
SPOKANE, Wash. (AP) — Blues Traveler singer and harmonica player John Popper was arrested after the vehicle he was riding in was clocked going 111 mph, the Washington State Patrol said Wednesday. Inside the black Mercedes SUV, officers found a cache of weapons and a small amount of marijuana, the Patrol said. A police dog searched the vehicle, finding numerous hidden compartments containing four rifles, nine handguns and a switchblade knife. Authorities also found a Taser and night vision goggles. The vehicle also had flashing emergency headlights, a siren and a public address system, the Patrol said.
“Popper indicated to troopers that he had installed these items in his vehicle because (in the event of a natural disaster) he didn’t want to be left behind,” the Patrol said in a news release.
This guy rules all! How did he only have one hit back in 1996? He’s clearly got the right stuff for either a comeback or the end of the world.
Godspeed big man.
One of my fav bands of all time. What a weird story. I wonder what he planed to do with all that stuff?
Woah, this is so strange. I had no idea he was such a headcase. Good find.
Yo John..what an original! Now that man exemplifies what we revere up here in the Pacific Northwest, Guns, Big cars and going really,really fast!!
apparently when he lost all of that weight, he also lost his mind.
