For those of you who might remember (LB is active, but KB, ED, & Greg only came out for a few shows with me - actually ED did quite a few in the day, but I digress), our director of 13 years, Raz, has quit. The circumstances of the Haight Ashbury Free Clinic are dire. Our founder, Dr. David Smith, was locked out of his office and is now being sued by HAFC's new CEO, John Eckstrom. SF has offered a financial band aid for HAFC, but many are skeptical that it will last past the next few month.
I've held a seat on the Advisory Board of Rock Med for over a decade. A new director has been installed, the youngest on the board, Wes. We're struggling to keep things together, but are caught in between HAFC's financial disaster and the music industry's catastrophic monopoly that is Live Nation.
Rock Med has been my muse, my practice, and my charity work for 19 years now. Our whole summer season is in flux and it's starting now. It's immensily frustrating. I'm not sure where I'll be without it in my life.
