BOB "THE BOOB" COLBY

How could Mickey Clean concentrate ? Bob Colby was one of the original punk fans. Heck,he was the First and Original fan.
He followed The Real Kids from the get go. He was at all the early punk shows. He would get up real close to the stage and dance away just like the pictures here show.

In 1977 he put out issue one of FRENZY. It had a six page (full newpaper sized pages mind you) article on Willie 'Loco' By Eric Van. I don't know if it's any good because it's only been 25 years and I haven't read it all yet.
Nine months later was Issue Two. A thing of legend ,my friends.
Issue three never came out which was strange because there were 4 or 5 benefits for the mag. This is a point we used to dig Bob for....used to ? .....still do. We NEVER give up.
Bob, where's issue three ? (Do we ever SHUT UP ? ) In retrospect the mag was very good. If he could have kept it going it would have been a real contender for best local mag today.

Bob is a real character - the kind we came to know in those early days. Fanatic love of punk and a desire to be in the middle of it, and a dream to be part of it. Bob is a colorful part of Boston punk history.
