    • When I started scanning photos, I was delighted to find so many images of couples. Red and black were THE colors of punk. Margot (Go-Go's original bassist and co-founder) with Mary Rat, Masque Benefit, February 24/25, 1978; Sheila Edwards (sometimes Screamers singer) with Shannon in their Pyranas shirts); Terry Graham (drummer of Bags and Gun Club) with Delphina also at…
