Really? You had to film this off the TV? You couldn't just rip it?

isabeats...i was living in SF from 1973 till about 1979. I used to hang out with Don Vinil of the Offs and photographer Rico and Cindy Crayon etc. I moved to NYC in 79.

Hi, I'm Ricky's ex and mother to our son, Zack. Ricky died of an accidental overdose on 11/21/1992. We still miss his crazy ass a great deal. :)

Oh, and the Sound of Music, where I saw Flipper probably 20 times. Part of the "pet rock" scene: with Animal Things, the Wild Nixons, the Duck Revolution, Lassie Go Fuck, etc.

dogmatic- We may have run into each other. I was at all those shows. Temple Beautiful, 330 Grove Street, the Mab, the Deaf Club, the Pit, that Indian place near the Deaf Club, etc. Those were great times.

I saw the Sleepers (and later the Toiling Midgets) regularly when I lived in SF. The only other singer as good as Ricky was Paul, of the Woundz. Another great but more obscure band. Ricky died. Drugs, I think.

Awesome....I was at that concert...the Coal Miners Benefit! All the best Cali punk bands played that night. I still have the poster from it somewhere.
