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.

I love the way this was shot...it looks so good on a big screen plus its in color.
