To Whom It May Concern: Being Intimately familiar with the storyline portrayed... Invisible... Someone... Why continue a Conversation that Never Was?!...

Back in those days my mom was kicking my ass for taking the train to see the Ramones-Blondie etc at CBGB's. U2 would have given anything to be at those shows and to get a peck on the cheek from Debbie Harry and a ride on the #7 train with the Ramones. I was a lucky kid growing up in NYC in the 1970's and 80's. Every ass whuppin was worth it!
