Frank Gerwer #8.



"Tommy Guerrero called me one day and asked if I wanted to ride for Forties. Hell yeah. He then told me I’d even get a paycheck, but that I could only spend it on beer. And I sure did! Thanks, Tommy."

In addition to free clothes, Frank got beer money from Forties.

Slap - November 1999 Volume 8 Number 11

I wanted to work this Guided By Voices lyric in, but it would have been too much effort:

Oh, to think on one's feet, to beat on one's brain
The Popular Mechanics are at it again
A tenement filled with sideshow freaks assembled to downgrade
An impeccable arrangement by the soft-rock renegades
And give me time to light a sentimental torch tonight
I'm a big fan of the pigpen

Mr Pollard aside I find the ad funny as the most easily recognizable item of clothing is Frank's Spitfire shirt.

Frank had a bunch of frontside slider photos around this time. I think he was either wearing Spitfire shirts or they were ads for Spitfire most of the time.
