Surf, sex and ‘Goin’ To The Church’

YouTube user @Malama_Ki posted this comment on No Fightin’s video “The Red Devils Time To Cry on MTV.” We thought it was worth sharing the story here:

Imagine this: I just got done surfing 2nd bay Pohoiki Hawaii; I take a soak in the natural hot pond in the jungle behind 1rst bay and meet a smokin’ German chick with her friend. We walk out to the parking lot to grab her digits and Going to the Church comes on our local blues hour on the radio. I was blown away on that ride home up the mango tree tunnel. That turned into dinner, a great night, and a great weekend. Pohoiki is now buried under black sand from the 2018 lava event, she was just a passing bit of fun, but I have the song and the memories forever.

We are sure that Lester Butler would approve of this message.

Do you remember where you were the first time you heard The Red Devils? (And was it as exciting as @Malama_Ki?)
