While riding with the group on a city bus
to an alleged ramp, I get the funny feeling
I'm being followed. Not a good feeling, since
anything can happen at this point, an ambush
or a pie in the face. The bus passes through
Porta Pia, which is one of the gateways of
the Aurelian walls (constructed in the third
century to defend and protect the city from
barbarian invaders), where, in 1870, General
Raffaele Codurna was ordered by the
government to enter the walled-in (then)
Pontifical State of Rome with fifty thousand
men, breaching the barrier at this gateway.
It was then that Rome became the capital
of Italy.
At the ramp the mood is modern aggro-
expectation. The newly-built ramp rests next
to a disco/bar/restaurant. The Romans know
how to live.
The Milan crew appears.
Assaulting the structure, Caballero and
Christ involve themselves in what is called
"doubles."
Roskopp settles into a barrage of multiple
strong airs. He resembles a side of beef flying
through the sky. Lance tears the lip apart and
blasts some crowd pleasing 5400's, ►

Rads are pre-cut multi-colored grip tape designs

grip tape isn't too cruddy and you follow the in-
structions RADS will stick right on top of that old
TM grip tape.

ASK FOR IT
BY NAME...
Asking for something by name is the
keystone of our American free-enterprise
system. The right of every American to walk
into a store and ask for a specific product
is one of the things we all should take for
granted.
UNTIL NOW!
Right now, even as you are reading this,
someone, somewhere, is trying to cover up
the things that you can ask to buy.
THE LEAVING TRAINS have a new
album out on SST Records. The title of their
new album cannot be mentioned in this ad.
It is a word with four letters.
JUST FOUR LETTERS
Because of those four letters (which, after
all are just four letters) The Leaving Trains
will be denied their right to compete in our
supposedly "FREE" marketplace.
That is why, in this ad, SST is not allowed
to show you the cover of The Leaving Trains
record (which by the way, is a picture of
clouds). We can't tell you what to ASK FOR
BY NAME
We can however tell you that the record
is one of the best rock records of 1987. We
can also tell you that although some people
can't buck the system, there are some that
will.
SST and The Leaving Trains are joined
