And now fer a disclaimer for those sensitive to such things:
A little story is necessary here because I certainly don't condone infamous "Thrill Killer" Charles Starkweather's murder spree in 1958, or his 1st known murder in 1957, for that matter...
When I was a lad of about 16 or 17 I was at a movie theater with a whole bunch of folk, and Jason Goodman of the world-famous Grave Diggers, Robert Williams of Big Sandy and the Fly-Rite Boys fame, and Jake Bricks - the late, legendary (and infamous, actually) Rockabilly Barber were over yonder a-ways looking, pointing, and laughing at me. Naturally that made me a bit uncomfortable. Come to find out they're snickering because they thought that I looked like Charles Starkweather, and particularly this specific pic of the man which had graced a Grave Diggers flyer just a short while before the ego-threatening movie theater snickering event.
I have that flyer somewhere. Its about 23 years old now.
