Did the Neal Ford and the Fanatics play at your school?


What about a bamboo stage constructed by 16 and 17 year old boys in your gym?



How about your garbage can? Did Neal Ford play there?

With the Moving Sidewalks?

Yeah.... I didn't think so. Your school sucked.

 

[Westex]

Okay... your school probably wasn't cool enough to host Hickory/Tantara/Gina recording artists the Fanatics.


What about the Glass Kans?
