EVG, as I said over at BB's place, Richard Hell is obviously amazeballs and NYC is the homeland of punk, but I can't believe Vans -- VANS! -- used the Sex Pistols over one of their own CA punk legends/icons who were around just as early as the Pistols.
Just more advertising shorthand/laziness I suppose.
They look so fresh faced but at the time the image felt distinctly not so and does not match my memory. They were the first or second band I ever saw at the Palladium circa 1979(?) And then, not understanding the L train, or being too wasted to actually notice, we accidentally wound up in Bed Stuy at 2am, which meant something then, but not so much now. Good times.

We love tips
Have a story idea or tip about something happening in the East Village? Or maybe a photo? Or several photos? Or video! We'd love to hear about it. Or see it. Or something. Please go here to submit a tip.
By the way
Here, you'll find things that you may or may not be interested in about the East Village and other parts of New York City. Appreciating what's here while it's still here. Remembering what's no longer here. Wishing some things weren't here that are here.
