CLASSIC ARTICLES: ROAD FOOLS ONE

DIG ARCHIVES: Road fools 1. Dig issue 8, Summer 1998

At the time of Road Fools 1, Dig’s Ed Docherty was visiting the states and tagged along on the trip with Taj Mihelich, Joe Rich, Jimmy Levan, Sandy Carson, Dave Freimuth, Derek Adams and Robbie Morales. Between both Ed and Sandy’s photos, Road Fools 1 was documented extensively in issue eight of our own magazine. Some other magazine editors might’ve laughed at the thought of a magazine covering a video production at the time, but the story came together beautifully and hopefully served as a bonus add-on to the already influential video. And being as how most other magazines ended up covering later Road Fools and other road trips in a similar style, I think it’s safe to say that both Dig’s coverage and Road Fools’ were pretty much ahead of their time. What follows is the archived article of Road Fools 1 from Dig issue 8 way back in 1998. Maybe you’ll be lucky enough to find an original copy of the mag on ebay or you can check a retrospective article we ran recently (Dig issue 63) featuring interviews with the original Road Fools crew. Enjoy!
