Oh, hey look, my mug says Green Day. They were kind of a punk man. Speaking of punks, I was introduced to punks. The first time I became aware of punks and the punk aesthetic was when we were kids, because they always characters in in movies around that time

like Muppet movies and the Police Academy movies there were a lot of the bad guys

were like they had chains and Mohawks and sit and Nancy came out around then so it was I was exposed to that type of look in in the 80s

but I never really knew a punk I was never friends with the punk until I went to college, a very progressive

liberal arts college in upstate New York and I made a friend with a with a punk. His name was

Stuart and he was incredibly bright and Stuart was so he was tall and gangly and he had the whole

Uniform you know the patches and he had the chains and and he had a huge I mean it was a really tall probably like two foot

tall mohawk maybe a foot and a half a slight exaggeration is it is it okay

even like even 12 inches is

outrageous. I think it was maybe 12 inches. And it was perfectly quaffed. It was like

spikes like the classic punk Mohawk when you think about that.

And one day he came back to my childhood house,

to our house that we grew up in to have dinner with my family.

And my mom, I was curious how she would react to his to his presence because he was like I said he was a really nice he was polite and he did all the things he behaved in a way that mothers would like but he had this very outrageous

look I could tell my mom she started asking questions she got she got comfortable with him too but um she she couldn't take her eyes off the mohawk

she just couldn't get over it yes she was quite dumpstruck by it when he walked into the

house as was I a high school student living in suburban Connecticut.

I had never been exposed to someone who looked like that.

But yeah, he was very kind.

I wonder what he's doing today.

I wonder, and we were talking about here, I wonder what he's doing today. I wonder and we were talking about here.

I wonder if he still has that Mohawk and I would bet that he doesn't but I wouldn't bet that
