Renaming this classy plane Big Pink after arriving in Redding, CA, following two weeks in hippieish Humboldt County on the Pacific Ocean.
Let’s be clear about the plane’s new name which replaces the former name Milk Of Magnesia: The Idiot is naming the plane Big Pink after The Band’s debut studio album Music From Big Pink (1968) and NOT after The Big Pink, the British electronic rock group formed in 2007.
