YO! PUBLIC IMAGE!- Charlie Benante Anthrax, Dave and Cone SUM 41,Hank Von Hell ex Turbonegro

When I was younger, I would sometimes go to work with my Sister, who was a hairdresser in Manhattan. Below the salon was a record store called Disco Mat that I LOVED. I would spend hours in there and one day, I had a weird experience. I was in there going through records and I saw a man with a long coat and a beret looking through the bins. I knew it was Johnny Rotten because I was a huge Sex pistols fan. I walked over to him all excited and he turned and put his finger up to his mouth and went ”Shhhhhhhhhhhhh” as in “STOP”. I took that as a leave me alone and that’s what I did. I continued to look around and then I saw him checking out and he called me over. I told him how much I loved the Pistols and he said that was all behind him and he was moving on. He took a Disco Mat card, turned it over and signed it for me. He talked a bit more and then left. The thing he was moving onto was PUBLIC IMAGE. I Love Love Love First Issue, it still Makes me happy when I hear it. I was so happy Dave and Cone from SUM
