Heard the Seger song, "Turn the Page",

and a line in it, 'and you always seem outnumbered', brought back a memory. 'Twas the middle of the night, we were somewhere in the middle of Oklahoma, and our Winnebago needed some gas. So, we pulled into a truck stop, must have been right after the bars closed, on a Friday night. Anyway, I went in to get something to eat/drink and our guy who was paying for the gas, with hair way down his back, was the 'center of attention' in the redneck, cowboy hangout. There was the usual, 'get a haircut' type stuff, but my buddy, Tom Swift (his REAL name) wasn't the normal peace loving hippie they were expecting. He had a black belt in karate, but we were still really outnumbered, and I remember thinking he shoulda just shut up, paid for the gas and left, but he didn't. Luckily, our buddies from the Winnie came in about the time things were getting real interesting. The 'twins' walked in, and Jerry, the baddest one, walked up to the nearest cowboy and dropped him with one punch, turned to the rest of the crowd, with his equally large brother beside him, two more of our big boys behind them and said something like, "OK, who's next?". Fight over. We drove out of there thinking of "Easy Rider", and pickups with shotgun racks, but nothing more happened. Anyway, the line from Seger always makes me think of that night, when we did, "make a stand".
