About 1978 why I wrote the book.

I had read allot about L.A Punk, Darby Crash , Black Flag etc but there is never a mention of the Venice Boys on the set back then. We were completely glossed over. Well I knew Darby pretty well and in a different way than much has been written about him and Pat as well. Furthermore Mike Muir did not start Suicidal Tendencies. However 1978 is more than Punk Rock and surfing, 1978 is a tale of youth in L.A, uniique, coveted and desired by many yet omnicent in it's  explanation of youthfull desire and experience across the USA and the world.
  I just had to set the record straight. Here is a snippit for you. oh by the way, plenty of skating action in 1978 and yes, I still skate!

"So what do you know about fucking?" Wendy then questioned.  "Ever had a blow job?"  "Yeah all the time," I lied. Wend sat on the toilet one leg propped up so I could see her G string. I was being dick teased and did not even know it.
