I am a musician and artist. I am the founder of the Experimental/Post Punk band Anoyz aka A/Noyz. I produced "Tale of the Broken Mirror" (1988) in Chicago. My "Sticky Art" was published by ESOPUS magazine (NYC) volume #16 in 2011.

I saw The Cramps 2 nights before, and had no money to see The Ramones. I was walking across a parking lot and found $38. Enough for 2 tickets and 2 beers.

I’m listening to the Red Exposure album by Chrome at the moment. Not Krautrock, but Damon Edge and Helios Creed captured a similar, but darker sound in SF in the 70’s. Damo Suzuki is one of my favorite vocalists. LOVE Can

The Cramps were always cool. Their bus would pull up at the front door on N. Clark St, and the band would say hi to the folks waiting in line. This particular evening, we did indeed “Tear This Damn Place Up”. On the verge of a riot.

Looking through real estate listings, I found a cool pic of the “Lindbergh Light” or “Palmolive/Playboy” beacon in Chicago. I remember seeing it in action about 1979 as a teen.
