Misty ... Something ... Memories

An iconic image of local action & police terror.
Gary Leonard took the photo (He took a shot atof us once too, for the Downtown News' Question Man or whatever they called it feature.) the LAPD put it on Facebook, we observed it at L.A. Observed.

Topper: We saw the Ramones at The Palladium some time in 1983 (Spring/Summer, maybe? Can't remember the other acts, either.) so all the Facebookers who are proud of seeing The Ramones there in '89 can fuck off, & tell their mothers we said so.

The Ramones played here in the, um, early nineties I think, and the policemen moonlighting as bouncers gave some kid brain damage. Don't let fads die!

Also they sucked at that show. I could have made hundreds just selling my tickets at the gate.

Critical Know-It-All Ed.:

The Ramones sucked? You'd have to be in bad shape not to pull that off.

I was in an act that opened for them later and they were better, mind you I had more to drink.
