i climbed into a car with some people i\'d never met before and went to Kenmore square. we waited around the Rat\'s back door for a while and eventually the Kinks came out. they were monosyllabic and seemed to be impatient to get away from us. we said goodbye, but a minute after they\'d walked away, i felt a \'plop\' on the back of my coat ... we were under fire! my little group of new acquaintances exchanged snoball volleys with Ray Davies et al for a bit ... whooping and hollering in the middle of the night in an alley behind commonwealth avenue.
