I should've been a bit clearer. I didn't *make* my Who trench
coat, I just decorated an existing trench & turned it into a
Who trench coat. I have a few talents but one of them *isn't*
sewing. ;-)

What are you...a sissy or something? ;-) Actually, I've been
known to wear a little eyeliner on occasion. Beat that, sissy! ;-)

Well, my Rock & Roll encyclopedia friend Curtis, who was there when
I met Cheetah Chrome from the Dead Boys, thought for sure he got
his nickname from the Stooges song "Search & Destroy" which contains
the line "I'm a street-walkin' cheetah with a heart full of napalm."
When we asked Cheetah, he said that was incorrect. He got the nick-
name because, as a youngster, he was always running from the cops!
So there ya' go!
