Nothing you could say in 1964 could tear “My Guy” original recording artist Mary Wells away from Fly Geyser, Washoe County, Nevada (currently owned by Burning Man Project) though when Mary discovered Fly Geyser was not natural, and in fact caused by a drilling accident, and started to bleed water like a deep cut, trombonist George Bohanon, Smokey Robinson, and Mary accelerated a Lotus Cortina to Daisy Geyser, Yellowstone National Park, Teton County, Wyoming. Everybody got so wet.
