Dead Kennedys

[OriginalGeek]

10. I just remembered

in the early~mid eighties I went to a tech school and had a "cafeteria friend" (Meaning we hung out at break times and smoked cigs together but it never went farther than that) and she is the one who really introduced me to the Dead Kennedys.

She had bright, multi-colored hair and a lot of other punk attributes so she stood out from most of the kids but I liked her and enjoyed hanging out with her (at least, until I started seriously dating the girl who is now my wife). I was skinny and had long hair and had come from a Led Zeppelin world of hard rock and metal but she played me some cool stuff from her Kennedys.

I remember teasing each other - she would see me come up and say "Hey Dead Zeppelin" and I'd say "Hey Led Kennedys" and we had stupid fun laughing at that.

I wish I knew if Heather is doing OK today. I'd definitely like to thank her for turning me on to some great hardcore and punk music.
