Nope, I never got the chance to see CRIME. I was 9 in '77 and have lived in Minneapolis my entire life. The closest I ever came was seeing about 45 seconds of video of CRIME at the prison show they played.

In my old age my memory is getting foggy, but I remember a guy in some punk band (I think the Sick F*cks) named Harry Verderci.

You Know.... I'm going to have to resurect this old topic because they're far too many personal nick names or even real names in the New Wave/Punk Rock world that we have to mention more we have not scratched the surface.

From what I've been able to discern "Stiv Bator(s)" was his real name. Everyone called him "Steve", but his parents were from Eastern Europe where Stiv is a common name.

Then again, I may be totally off base.

How's about a couple of obvious ones? Joe Strummer (aka John Mellors)-and the whole Ramone family?

As for band names-too many good ones-as I've been wallowing in 80s psych these days how about: Plastic Land, Rain parade, Dream Syndicate, Green on Red,

I think that is true about stiv, however, I don't think Jack and Bernice Chrome named their little boy Cheetah
