Rhetro Meets Mighty Mo

The city street was dark, as three young men exited a small car. The Cosmic Aeroplane was their destination... a musty bookstore, with a great record department. At the time, it was the only place in Salt Lake to get punk albums. Rhetro was planning on getting the Residents Eskimo album, while Merlin was there for a new baseball cap with a picture of an exotic Maple Leaf on it. Peck was looking for Fabulous Poodles on pink vinyl. As the car doors slammed in unison, an automobile sped past and they heard screams of agony coming from the middle of the road. It was difficult for them to see the man lying in the road. "That car hit me" he exclaimed in pain, as two high school age punk girls came running from the opposite side of the street. Everyone huddled around the man as someone scampered off to find a phone and call for help.

What no one in the scene knew, was that cosmic forces and mystical powers were hard at work to bring two people together. On the surface, (literally), a man lay helpless in the road as another young man runs to the Cosmic Aeroplane to call an ambulance, and the others stay to direct traffic and comfort the victim until help arrives.

Many years later:

Rhetro and Mighty Mo had been married for a handful of years when he relayed the above story to her. She replied, "I remember that. That was you?"

Happy 21st Anniversary sweetheart.
