In 1982-83, we were in 6th grade, so we were 11- and 12-years-old. We got to hear the members of Romeo Void explain that, when coming up with a band name, they did not want the word, "The." They also claimed that a local magazine (which one?) had an article titled, "Why single women can't get laid in San Francisco." So they came up with "Romeo Void."
We were years from becoming sexually active. And our parents generally did not talk to us about puberty, sex, and the like. So we were left to our blind, uneducated, and inexperienced selves, to throw taboo topics up, and make wild guesses. Thus, lyrics like "I might like you better, if we slept together" were jarring.
Perhaps we were in our English and Social Studies classes, when the big Jewish girl, Rachel, blurted out, about single women not getting laid in SF, "That's 'cuz the guys are gay!!!"
Privately, Larry and I would email each other. He generally wasn't aware that, in the early-to-mid 80s, Romeo Void had such an influence on kids younger than the band. Though he would leave the Bay Area, Larry would add some recollections of his time here. He was amazed at my memories. But I told him that, it's not about one's ability to remember. Rather, it's about the times, experiences, food, people, events, cultures, and music, which had such an enormous impact on us. They pulled us out of childhood, ushered us into adulthood, and shaped us as human beings.
