For the record, I have no recollection of this evening, but that’s me in the video. I can only guess that I was dressed up like the late Dr. Thompson because it was Halloween.

Jumpin’ bejeebers Jim, I thought that was someone going as you for Halloween!
You know, I should have used that excuse!
What in the hell was that?!
Just another Friday night in Tucson, circa 1984.
Hi Jim,
Yes, it was Halloween. You were moshing in the mosh pit too. If you look closely at the raw footage it seems you enjoyed moshing a great deal. There is also an interview with you and the other Jim who was dressed as Sting. The Hunter S. costume was a hint of your future to come.
If you ever want a copy for you grand kids, let me know.
I do hope you enjoyed the clip, it cureently gets 2 hits steady, every hour, world wide. “80’s Hardcore Punk Rock” is a very popular search phrase.
Cheers,

Charlie: Many thanks for not including the interview! I shudder to think of how dumb it prolly looks, 25 years later.
And thanks for cleaning up all that old archival footage! It’s a good historical record of the times.
Charlie: I’d love to see the interview with Nintzel. Send it on, if ya can!
I’m quite sure that’s not necessary.
Ignore Nintzel Charlie. Send it on.
Jim,
I’ve got your back man. That footage is never going anywhere for free. Let’s sell it to the highest bidder and split the money. I am sure I hve better footage than that of you, somewhere.
