Around '81 The Professionals
came and played the NYC Ritz, known for it's tough bouncer corps.
The band got into some dispute with security at the door before
the show which resulted in diminutive Paul Cook putting 'the nut'
on one 250lb muscler, who went out cold. The rest of the bruisers
were too dumbfounded to react immediately, but from then on treated
the band with mucho respect. |
