Actually the flower pots came later. They are originally from this area.
There was a industrial shop in town that sold protective clothing. Thats
where they got the goggles and jumpsuits etc. I never saw them, because I
didn't live around here then, but I heard most of the punks would throw
stuff at them. Thats why they wore the suits. They didn't get any popularity
until they went to California. The Pre Are we not men is alot different. If
you can find any its worth getting. THere very rare though. The original
version of Jocko Homo is amazing. Much better than the LP version. Cheer
