Lefty? yes... Lefty

Lefty? yes... Lefty... you remember Lefty anyone who attended a punk show in Washington DC in the mid 80's most certainly knew who Lefty was... Lefty would be another prime canidate for a DC Punk Documentary lets see what a GOOGLE brings up when I do a search for "DC Skinhead, Lefty" Black Punk Time at Rocktober Magazine gave me this- LEFTY - When D.C. produced Iron Cross, who many hail as the first American skinhead band, trouble was bound to follow. With D.C.'s Black majority population, Nazi-inspired skinhead racism wasn't going to be business a usual, and one of the ways this manifested itself was surprising.
