I thought he stiffed the other band members for royalties?

What are you on about, he left in 86 or something and then got sued 10years later for an “accounting error”

jeez, it was only 75k.

actually I’m surprised to know, he is only worth 500k, he’s one of the godfathers of punk.
I know psychobilly artists worth over 6 times that, and it’s a feckin small scene Compared to Punk.

Good support band tomorrow night by look of things…at least I’m assuming it’s a support band as opposed to a performance artist from Hamburg

Some good tunes on here, but perhaps in retrospect it would have been a good idea if th OP had also stipulated that posters should state what event(s) the songs commemorate. I confess in some instances I haven't a clue - and even where I do, some more detail would have been welcome.

Good idea for a thread, though.

About the death of Nancy Spungen, among other things.

Agent orange (orange crush) was a defoliant used in the Vietnam war to help US forces identify Charlie easier. It was also toxic and led to many deaths on both sides of the conflict for those who were exposed to it

I was a roadie at one of their gigs as a reward for putting in some money into a film about them

I put some money into it as well, and got a credit somewhere. Fantastic band.
