I have got to put in a word for my local San Francisco punk idols, the Avengers, the Dils, the Mutants and the Dead Kennedys.
Richard Hell is such a cool guy. Too bad he's virtually unknown today... sort of become a cult legend.

And i should really check out some of the late 70s bands from other cities.
