Darby Crash f/k/a Bobby Pyn: Lexicon Devil

Almost forgot this one. It was Pearl Harbor Day 1980 that Darby (b. 26 September 1958) took his leave, but we keep thinking he died the same day John Lennon was murdered, 8 December 1980, which took attention from Darby's sad fucking suicide.
Photo from our Internet buddy Jenny Lens' Punk Photo Archive. It's her last shot of Darby on stage, in Culver City in 1980. Do not steal it. You could buy a print from her, if you like it. And she has plenty of others, not limited to Darby & the Germs. Help a sister out, why doncha?

I was at the Germs' very last show on Dec. 3rd., just a few days before Darby's death. He was his usual whiney self.

Kick Boy Face II responds:
"Somebdy threw ice at me. He's right over there..." Kinda like that?

Yeah, somebody up on the old Starwood's balcony was throwing ice. A good move, if you ask me.
