Doing a nostalgia-google the other day, I came across a post from a woman who is writing a book about Will Shatter (R.I.P.) the former bassist of Flipper. I wrote to her and she gave me an email address for Bruce Loose, Flipper’s inimitable vocalist, who was a good pal in the early punk days in San Francisco. Bruce and I started up a correspondence full of reminiscences, and he told me my picture is in a book by Jim Jocoy called “We’re Desperate” — and today Bruce emailed me the picture. I share it with all of you for your amusement. It’s from 1978 or ’79. My initial reaction: OH my GAWD! Well…my hair’s still red…
