I always share this on June 25th, the Anniversary of the day I moved to Los Angeles, on a 1-way Ticket to audition for TUFF!

Hello, so how long had you been in the band at the point you were in Decline Of Western Civilization II?

All I can say is good on ya for going out to L.A. and actually doing it. A ton of people dream of being a rock star, but very few actually take the bull by the horn and make the sacrifices and put in the work to do it. My hat is off to you sir.

A few months, less than 6 for sure... I am not 100% sure, but recall being interviewed in the fall of 1987.

I know this based on a few things, including the Hot Blond I was standing with outside Gazzarri's, her name was Michelle, dated her in the fall of 1987.

There was a 2nd part, where Penelope invited us to be interviewed in a studio setting, this is the footage with Michael & I, which was shot soon after.

Thank you for the props!
