They turned up a lot as support band in the mid 70’s. He was dangerous. You’d watch them expecting injuries…

Sentimental journey.

The Cramps at the California State Mental Hospital in Napa - Concert 1978 YouTube video by Dr. Nuno C. Sousa, Psychoanalyst

If through some inexplicable lack of curiosity you have never seen the 20-minute video tape of the Cramps playing live to the inmates of the Napa State Mental Hospital, and you need something to restore your faith in humanity, press play on this. www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Jnk...

im doing a crazy thing and starting a tiny press that wants your poetry, maybe a follow, maybe a repost, definitely your submission

This is exactly the way my friends and I used to dress when we drank in the White Star in the 70’s…
