Comments : //frankblankmusic.com/pdfs /Informed%20Sources%20About%20the%20Band.pdf [Sorry, broke up URL to format page- Editor]. Although I was there for mini-brawls with the locals on other nights, I was not there for the epic battle. What I heard was that the Kensington locals did not like punks or anyone else coming into their neighborhood (or more likely, just needed a reason for a fight), and even grandmoms with bats went after the music fans.

Comments : I am sad to report that David Carroll, Starlite Ballroom owner, died at the age of 81 on May 26, 2019. There is a good account of his life at ""/""/www.inquirer.com/obituaries/david-carroll-philadelphia-punk-hot-club-bar-noir-starlite-ballroom-20190531.html. The online obituary is longer than the one in today's Phila. Inquirer, at B4. The online story gets into the brawl outside of a Black Flag concert, and another one that even had a homemade bomb outside of a Dead Kennedys show.
