kizarney (UNCLASSIFIED)

[Darla Wells]

He could have picked it up from visiting the carnival. One show I travelled
with played Compton at least twice a year and the kids would come out and
pester the life out of us till we opened. The adolescents would come out and
help set up and slough to make a few bucks. In many places, people would
come out year after year and we had almost cult status. Snoop is about the
right age to have done this.
