The Blessed at MAX'S

June 30th, 1979

I went to see the Blessed at Max's. I can honestly say I think I enjoyed this show the most.It was a very relaxed atmosphere and the show was so good. I really mad at Howie Pyro but not anymore. was actually kind of sweet last night. I had planned to go to England in September to stay with a penpal and Howie is going at the same time. At least that is one way of assuring that I don't miss any Blessed shows.

Billy Stark was also super nice. He gave me his address because I have to send him a fan letter a penpal of mine wrote him. I could have killed Billy because he said Manhatten during a song and he knows how much I hated that movie and he loved it. So during the secong set I put up a sign for Grease since he hated that movie so much I loved it. I sat through Grease 5 times on 1 weekend. One day I sat through 3 showings and the next day 2 showings. I love it so much. Billy said he was laughing all during the first song when he saw my Grease sign.

I met a penpal of mine from South Carolina - Aldyth. It was really weird to meet her. She is a Bowie penpal but she is really in love with Howie Pyro. I am not too sure that she likes me too much. I was really possessive of the Blessed. I can't help it - I love them so much. Howie has really improved on the stage, I can not believe how much better he has gotten. And I finally got a guitar pic from him since he never has any.

Billy told me something so depressing. He told me the Blessed broke up 2 weeks ago and Howie was kicked out the band. So Billy said he would commit suicide since he could never play in another band. He didn't tell me the whole story but he said he will. God - If there were never any more Blessed I would die.

More David Jo

June 23rd, 1979

I went to see the David Johansen Band at Dover, NJ . I swore I would not go back to that place either but I can not help it, that is where all the bands are playing and I can not miss them. A nightmare occurred. I was not able to stand underneath Tommy Trask but I got pretty close. He did step over just so he could hand me a guitar pic. Oh how thoughtful. They did alot of new songs that were really good. It was so strange to not see Johnny & Buzzy up there playing. I spoke with Frankie LaRocka after the show and he is so nice. Tommy Trask never even said hello. He can be such a bastard sometimes.

More Ramones....

June 22nd, 1979

Went to see the Ramones at the Fast Lane in Asbury Park even tho I swore I would not go there any more or to any more shows. I was telling everyone it was my last Ramones show. Johnny Ramone was so cute tho. I got a broken guitar string from Johnny. I had a few fights with Matt the roadie. I don't know what is wrong with him lately. He was so nice in the beginning.

More Ramones

June 17th, 1979

Marie & I went all the way up to New Haven, CT to see the Ramones. Crazy, huh! What a bunch of jerks there. I will never go to Connecticut again. I was going to up there to see Blondie but forget it. I wonder if Johnny Ramone remembered me. I know that the roadies & Arturo did. Big deal. I think Johnny may have. God, Johnny Ramone is so cute. He kept on dropping his guitar pics because it was so hot in there. We saw Cary there. I had gotten into a fight with some kids and when I came out at night I had a flat tire in my car. I think that those stupid kids did it. Anyway, Cary's father came & helped to change it.

Power Outage at the Ramones

June 16th 1979

Went to see the Ramones in Dover at the Show Place. Johnny Ramone was an amazing as ever. I think he may have remembered me. I stood right in front of him and was screaming and went wild. But unfortunately in the middle of the show there was a power failure and that was it for the Ramones show. How depressing. A car hit some telephone pole or something and all the power went out. Everyone stood outside the club for a long time hoping they would get it fixed and the Ramones would go back on stage to play but they never did. It was such a let down. I thinh the Ramones just took off once it happened. They should have refunded our money from the club but they never did.

Blessed at the Mudd Club

June 14th, 1979

Went to the Mudd Club to see the Blessed. It was so much fun. I could not film that much because the crowd up front was so wild. Billy looked great. He had on eye make up. We were upstairs for alot of the night. It is so much better upstairs at the Mudd Club. I thought the Mudd Club was so much better than the last time I went but probably because the Blessed were playing. That will always make it better. Most of the Johansen Band was there. Tommy Trask was not friendly at all and was with some girl most likely from Staten Island. I drenched them both wet with a water gun. It was funny. I thought the Blessed were so fantastic. I could not believe how wild the audience was. We all kept attacking Howie and he finally just fell on to the audience. Walter Lure also went flying into the audience. Oh well, Hail True Love.
