80-05-00-T2-05-XTatExJimmy Purchase

Top Jimmy worked at Top Taco on La Brea, across the street from A & M Records, formerly Charlie Chaplin’s studio and currently Henson Productions. Jimmy fed punks for years and told me the elderly owners knew, pointing to his forearm where they were tattooed with a line of  numbers. I knew that meant they survived the “concentration camps,” now known as the Holocaust. They knew what it was like to starve and they kept many punks alive.
Jimmy and Billy Zoom had been friends forever and was our soulful storyteller, with a cig in his hand, a beer in front of him, that generous sexy grin, twinkling blue eyes. I have photos of John and Exene giving Jimmy the tat with the ball and chain and a big “X.” I loved being around him, such a rare good person.

ASK
first, you might make a friend. Use my photos so I benefit too. These are MY photos.
