Poorman’s 15 Minutes of Fame: Chris Ashford - What Records (First DIY single by The Germs)

They started getting other people to hang out with them, and eventually it morphed into what became The Germs which was on the single “Forming” that I did which was the first record. It was airable, but at that time nobody would have aired it except for Rodney. He really came into our corner and he played it as soon as we gave it to him. He played it that next Saturday.
