 Jeffrey Lee footnote # 1: This contributor first stumbled into The Cramps traveling medicine show during their first foray outside of New York City's Bowery, (as I like to refer to as) my "Baptism by Fire" on 07 April 1978, at the Atlantis Club in Washington, D.C. I had heard of The Cramps in drips and drabs, in the pages of Richard, and Lisa Robinson's Rock Scene magazine, a rag devoted primarily to NYC glam rock, and the burgeoning punk rock movement. Needless to say, The Cramps opened many doors, and left an incalculable, indelible, life long impression on me. I was now totally corrupt, and, as I won't retrace the circumstances leading up to this moment, suffice to say, it had to do with an employee of a local record store; the Penguin Feather, seeking a gig as a DJ, and my giving him a lift to the Atlantis that evening. footnote # 2: The Atlantis Club was located at 930 F Street, NW, in the Atlantic Building, adjacent to Ford's Theatre (where U.S. President Abraham Lincoln was assassinated). Atlantis owner Paul Parsons was quoted in the day's following The Cramps ill-fated booking with support group, The Puppets as: "...too controversial, too destructive. No club is ready for that kind of destruction. The Cramps are not healthy." Evidently, Parsons told them 'never to return.' Soon after, the Atlantis closed it's doors, and the building was purchased and re-christened the Nightclub 9:30 on 31 May 1980, and there, The Cramps enjoyed many a return engagement.

 Jeffrey Lee The old "HELLION HOUSE". The Jaeger's (whom we were renting the house from) decided, in order to protect their investment from further damage, and gratuitous vandalism...kicked our loathsome asses out onto the street, but not without a rowdy send off! This was the first time HELLION played in front of an audience; friends, curiosity seekers, concerned neighbors and the usual suspects. Hellion Jun 26, 2018
 Jeffrey Lee We hired Mike Gilette & Channel Z Productions to video tape the entire show using three cameras, but it remains unseen, maybe one day soon. Pentagram Jun 26, 2018

 Jeffrey Lee Shame on me...to have paid hard-earned cash money on a bevy of pseudo-quasi-neo imposter-bogus rock bands cashing in on the original band's (that you came to know and grew up with) past glories. It was a total sham and everyone was hood-winked, bamboozled, and taken for a ride. Rest assured, I don't believe for a minute there was an original line-up among the bands touting themselves as such.

 Jeffrey Lee So "The Killer" strolls out on stage, and is met by the presence of a Roland electric piano. He walks around it with his hand on hips, shaking his head, and the look of disgust on his face. He sits down on the bench, and plays three country weepers, gets up, and suddenly pushes the piano off the edge of the stage into the orchestra pit - then declares "The show is over, that's all yer gonna' git." and stalks off. The audience, completely stunned, boos and my friend Ron L. and myself give him a standing ovation while everyone looks and gasps at us in horror. I look at the lady seated next to me and admonish her; "What? You should be so lucky he doesn't pull out a .38 and start shooting everybody!" It was exactly what I wanted to see him do. I knew from the moment he saw that piano he was pissed, and it wasn't going to end well. A classic performance from the original Bad Ass of rock & roll. Jerry Lee Lewis / Bo Diddley Jun 25, 2018
 Jeffrey Lee Friends Anne B., Jason D. and myself drove down to Memphis on a lark for our own self-guided Elvis tour. Dropped in to see 45 Grave perform, say "Hello" and bought two singles that Dinah Cancer autographed for me. 45 Grave Jun 25, 2018
 Jeffrey Lee Imagine having the opportunity to see AC/DC, and U.F.O. for under $5.00! This would be lead singer Bon Scott's last appearance in the Nation's Capitol, as the band were on their "If You Want Blood" tour. Bon Scott passed away eight months later in London. AC/DC / U.F.O. Jun 25, 2018

 Jeffrey Lee This show came about as a result of an encounter I had with Ace Frehley's (then) manager George Sewitt on 10 April at Billy's American Bar & Grille (see entry). The recently opened Black Cat owner Dante Ferrando wanted to give PENTAGRAM somewhat equal billing, as I had related the story of Ace Frehley needing a better venue, and a local band (PENTAGRAM) to draw a bigger crowd. Mr. Sewitt wasn't at all happy with the poster I designed, and the support bands name on the ticket...but he thanked me later. Ace had a packed club that night thanks to good promotion by Greg Turley, and myself. I thought the poster looked great George. PENTAGRAM (of course) was the main attraction.
