One more note - you can click on the photos to see more detail. Check out the Molly Ringwald guitar. Can anyone tell me who that is playing?

That's Doug Carrion, no?

Jim H said...

You are correct, Sir! Playing in Dag Nasty meant you wore Dag Nasty shorts.

Riiiight. Because if you're in a band called Dag Nasty, you should be wearing Dag Nasty shorts (although The Smiths t-shirt is a nice touch).
