@NeverEnough: the guy who was the face of Pepe le Punk

That would be the very underrated Paul Reynolds, who keeps on keeping on.

@Ned Raggett: He was the epitome of gracious. He even included the "potatoes and laughing" line again in his next week's column. Awesome.

And words cannot describe how disappointed I was when I saw A Flock of Seagulls 2 weeks ago only to discover that the guy who was the face of Pepe le Punk is no longer in the band (it consisted of just Mike Score and 3 angry looking Latinos. It was like A Flock of Sepultura).

@Ned Raggett: @Nicolars: YES! I got to meet David Stubbs in 1995 and started frantically quoting my favorite Pepe le Punk article where he interviews David Bowie and invites him over for "potatoes and laughing." Ahahaha!

@NeverEnough: I still quote Pepe LePunk from time to time.

"Hot piss!"

"...author of Freddy Mercury: He Was Not Gay."

"Please wait while I unpack my notebook from my rucksack."

That was HILARIOUS. He’s the same man responsible for the Pepe Le Punk column which was nothing short of genius.
