Spoke w/Dead Kennedys Jello Biafra a few weeks ago, he's got a lot of physical therapy going on to help in his stroke recovery.

He always loved this photo & he's excited about my new DK's book being finished.

Send good wishes, to the guy who inspired so many of us and politicized so many of us.

BLACK FLAG Aug. 1981 - Henry's first official BF show. The Cuckoo's Nest.

You can’t say Black Flag did not give it their all, always. During this peak era one of the greatest bands of all time.

This is one of my all time favorite photographs ever.

from my Black Flag book WHAT I SEE - 256 pages.

KENT SENATORE - April 1979 Turning Point Ramp, Fort Lauderdale, Fla. This plexiglass & steel capsule with one end open, included an hydraulic lift on the open end, so when lifted it made it so the round end of the capsule could be ridden/carved upside down ... Pretty amazing

This photo was from the first of 3 albums King-Tee and I did together. The album was “Act A Fool”. The idea of the Cadillac folding over onto the back was his idea.

Ice-T put us together, because King Tee was part of the Rhyme Syndicate crew that Ice started to help all the artists around him.

TONY ALVA trespassing, after school early 1977, in a back yard where we had no permission. Just arrogance and belligerence that made us think, someone found an empty swimming pool, and we're gonna go skate it, no matter what! Lookout in the front and lookout in the back. (from the MY RULES book)
