Michael - Great story.  Minor correction, according to Wikipedia, Mike
Skill was the lead guitarist, not drummer.  Maybe we all get confused
by the video of Jimmy Marinos singing "What I Like About You"?
Btw, I found this youtube video of an 1980 performance in Holland, where
obviously the crowd had no idea who the band were and what they were
singing about.

Watch when the camera starts taping people in the crowd, around the 1
minute mark. Â The youtube comments are very funny.
"Worse. Crowd. Ever."
" Anyone still breathing out there ? "
" Should I call a coroner ? "

We hung out with them for a while and when they found out that Jim was also in the Misfits they went a bit nuts and explained they had traveled from Michigan to Toronto to see their show.
