What happened to rock/music

I spanked Wendy-o-Williams as she passed by me with a running chain saw at the 9:30 club.

HA! She was thrown in jail at a show I did in the 80s

I had to rip the arms off my Izod shirt to gain admission after the bouncer said "dress code violation" and "The Bank's over there" (a preppy nightclub).   

Of course, I saw the same bouncer during "ballroom dance night" with "Doc Scatlin and the imperial palms" being the band.   

He said "approved" and stamped my hand.   

DC bars were epic in the 1980s.

Teared seating 60x100 dance floor. We called it the pleasure dome. Ut was called Pointe East in IL. Had national touring acts every weekend. Beautiful interior. Prolly mire went in there than studio 54.

Some may find this interesting.

Iron Maiden backstage at the club/bar concert venue I first worked at, where I learned lighting, sound and pyro. The very place I got my start in sound, and started my reputation.
Was my first show, I was still a lil green, just as a stagehand.
Drinking age then was 19 for beer, but I just turned 21 when these guys came in,... damn near a life time ago.
Mid page you'll se B&W pic of Iron Maiden backstage at Pointe East 1981.

The irony of it all


Rick Derringer, Guess Who, Rare Earth were my first 3 shows on stage with band mixing.

I posted a few of the monthly schedules of Pointe East
I also worked the Wet-Ts on stage, picked the next girl, walked her to the tub and poured the water.
