I started playing in my cousin's band when I was 15, an oldies band, but he
was able to sneak me into a lot of cool places.
Anyhoo, I saw a later incarnation (I think) around 1979, and The Romantics
warmed up for them. Their debut album was just about to be released, and the
red suits that they wore on the cover were made of painted vinyl, so by the
end of the show, the sweat soaked the suits, and it looked like they were
bleeding all over.
Hey, remember Traxx out on the eastside of Detroit? A lot of cool shows there
as well. I went into the place after it closed and everything was up for
auction. I still have about 100 unused Ramones tix in my possession for a
show there in the mid 80s.
