I coulda been a contendah, but the timing was wrong. Just as Ira Robbins and Scott Isler invited me to come on board and write for Trouser Press, I went off to Edinburgh for the year, and within a few months, Trouser Press closed up shop for good, Joey Ramone gracing their last-ever cover. Wish I'd been in that issue instead of this one, which sported a Duran Duran cover!
