1978 Berlin Boys

Tom Joslin and Mark Massi were on a bowling team with me in the fall of 1977, calling ourselves the Berlin Boys in homage to Iggy Pop's The Idiot and David Bowie's Low lps. We took the bowling league seriously, as did other teams--one of which bought the from-the-catalogue bowling outfits. The Berlin Boys went with hand silk-screen tees. One of my scars comes from a bowling competition, as I stubbed out onto the back of my left hand a cigarette, standing at the scoring desk of the bowling lane before my turn to bowl.
