If you went to concerts back in the day, you knew Greg Parrott.
I’ve always been partial to the Lubbock Sheriff’s Department, mostly because my uncle was an L.A. County Sheriff. I guess he taught me that sheriffs were cool, and that stuck with me. The thing with sheriffs is, they seem to have a little more leeway to be cool than by-the-book policemen. No shade to you guys, because I know you have to answer to a political machine that’s a bit more strict.
Sergeant Parrott and Deputy Deon Clemmons, and I hope I got that name/title right, were the go-to concert team in Lubbock back in the day. I’m sure there were many more who deserve to be mentioned, but these two were always a welcome sight at a show. You could just tell they were there to make sure everyone had a good time. That, my friends, is a choice, because if you don’t think some security, in some places, show up just to crack heads, you’d be wrong…
