I'd remembered reading about him on the walls of CBGB's bathrooms


epub or mobi, with thanks to the original sharer

As we were all exiting the venue a sinister young man approached us. He was dressed in a long, black leather coat and hat, clutching a bible in one hand and a cross in the other, and had a group of followers behind him. Suddenly, he started preaching to the band, telling them to change their evil ways. He approached each member of the Ramones individually, wanting to "save them from themselves" and ranting on and on about how they should repent for the sake of saving their souls and change their devil-worshipping ways. "Repent or die! You must change your wicked ways or you will be cursed for life!" he screamed as we approached the van. Behind him, his followers were praying aloud and repeating the preacher's every word, cursing our very souls for denouncing god, and cursing each and every member of the band as we all piled into the van. Finally, after his pleas were ignored, falling on deaf ears, and we were all safely in the van, Johnny said to Monte, "Monte, get this fucking nut outta here!" We just laughed it off—"What a bunch of weirdo nut jobs."
