What's Spinning

Roughly 15 years ago, for Christmas, I bought Dean a record/dvd package of the Chicago punk scene that included video clips of clubs from the 80/90s. Sure enough, Dean was captured pogoing like a madman in front of the stage with spiked orange hair in one of the clips. Neither of us had any idea what was in the package so it was a great surprise. I met Dean through wheeling our Toyotas so learning of his previous passion was interesting to say the least. Here is his jacket worn back in the day:

Thanks for allowing me the indulgence as today would have been he and his wife’s 37th anniversary and my wife and I went over to celebrate with her.
