Adelitas Way Got Their Name From A Very Unorthodox Source. While On Tour On The West Coast Their Van Was Pulled Over And Eventually Raided And Thieved By Corrupt Mexican Cops Who Took All The Money The Band Had Except For The Few Dollars Rick Stashed In His Boot. Disoriented And Shaken From The Experience The Band Headed To The First Bar They Could Find To Calm Themselves Down. It Was The Adelita Bar. After Spending Some Time In There The Guys Realized That It Wasn't Just A Bar It Was A Brothel. Rick Ended Up Talking To One Of The Girls Who Worked There And Asked Her How She Could Live Like She Was Day In And Day Out. She Explained That It Was The Only Way She Knew To Support Her Family In Need. Talking To Her Helped Change Rick's Outlook On Life And People And Thus The 'way' She Lived Became The Inspiration For The Name.
