I was a punk so most cops didn’t like that back then.

Felt like a rock god!!! <br />Later as lead guitar/vocalist with the Hollywood Squares in July '78 and with the Firm (pre-Jimmy Page/Paul Rodgers ripoff of our name) in 1979,<br />For Dokken, the Knack, Rotters, and other great bands it was exposure, if not necessarily money (although I do remember getting something for the gig, maybe gas money home)..Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
