John Emison is a multimillionaire oil tycoon, who attended 40Fest in order to research the possibility of leveling Rich & Jennie's home and drilling for black gold. Texas tea. Jack tells us that Mr. Emison is a friend of his who attends shows regularly at Grandpa Eddie's, where Jack runs sound for bands, but we at Illbillys.com suspect that Jack is merely a paid lackey in the service of this take-no-prisoners corporate fiend. Fortunately, Mr. Emison was frightened by the guy wearing the highway cone on his head for the Devo song, and decided to drill in a place where nobody does such scary things.
