We miss all of you. A lot. The Cramps were the headliners the very first time I set foot in Max's Kansas City. What an intro to NYC rock and roll cabaret for an 18 year old hayseed whose best friend (I love you Anne Schack) had scored a waitressing job there. Connected! Goddamn. Berlin Schmerlin. The next day I ran to Bleeker Bob's and bought the "Human Fly" 45 with the glow in the dark sleeve. Sold American. To this day one of the 2 or 3 pieces of vinyl that didn't get sold to support other, more expensive habits. On the Cramps website I left a note that signed off with an RIP. But now that I've had a day or two to think about it, Lux, I hope you're kicking and screaming and dancing and bending microphone stands over that giant Frankenstein genius head.
