We were headed to the Misfit/Exploited show downtown Denver at the Ogden. A couple of Punk kids were walking behind us. Couldn't help myself....
It was a good show. We had a good time. Great memories with the both the Misfits and The Exploited raising hell. I was standing at the last set of stairs as Wattie with the Exploited was making his way to the stage. The place was sold out. Filled to the rafters with young punks of every shape and size. As Wattie made his way thru the crowd, everyone was shouting out to him. As he brushed past me he glanced up and I said, "Giv'em Hell Wattie".... His momentum carried him all the way down the stairs where he stopped, turned around and came back up the stairs right to me. He put out his hand, gave a Bro hand shake and said in his heavy British accent, "that's what I plan to do Brother".... He smiled and said, "thank's for being here".... everyone was looking at me enviously as he turned and bolted back down the stairs and on to the Stage.... It was a hell of a show. at one point Wattie noticed a young boy and his mother down at the side of the stage. He called the boy up and asked him was he was doing there. The boy explained that The Exploited was one of his Fathers favorite bands and his Father was stationed over seas in the Military. Wattie gave a glowing speech about how great that was and that he was glad the boy and his mother had come to the Concert. He told the boy to stay up on stage with him for the next couple of songs. The boy danced away as Wattie raged.... It was absolutely a great time and experience.....
