Very nice batch of vids, KB. You're knocking 'em outta the park with this stuff! Thanks for unearthing those and sharing them - nice to see some additional Max's Kansas City vids I've never seen before (Contortions/Jayne County) and the Johnny Thunders clip - well, it's just awesome.
I liked the little story that ran across the screen on how the Thunders shoot came about.
Great stuff, KB! I'll have to link to this...
