“The Clash came to town to do the Fridays Tv Show. We were driving around town and the Kroq Dj came on at about 11pm and said “Clash at the Roxy at midnight!” We raced over to the Roxy and got in a secret line on the side of the building.You must understand how wild the Sunset Strip is and was especially after midnight!”
