Chevy Chase - graffiti artist?


I'm currently reading Chevy Chase's biography and it mentions some highly interesting facts concerning the early 1970's graffiti art scene.
Did you know that his half-brother, John Cederquist, used to belong in two major crews; RTW (Rolling Thunder Writers) along with (Eric)HAZE, MIN ONE, REVOLT & ZEPHYR; and The Soul Artists.
He used to write CRUNCH - and here's a factoid for y'all, go and check your copy of SUBWAY ART, flip to the back cover and there it is, second one down, in the middle.

Tickled me, anyway.

  1. Can I just say that I subscribed to your blog as soon as I knew about it, maybe a month or so ago? I love it and always enjoy your posts. I am 36, brought up in towns in and around POrtsmouth and started popping & locking in 1982.

    I am your exact target audience, and by Crikey you make a middle aged man happy! Keep up the good work and if you have time check my site out, http://hiphopscience.co.uk we do a radio show on a Wednesday night, G2 has got all the new stuff and he started getting into it in the golden era, and I spin the good old stuff and a breaks selection, I'll deffo be mentioning your blog this next week!

    Thanks again, all the best, Waxer.

Hey, this is REPO! While I love to see your comments, if you leave one under ANON why not put your real or chosen name at the end of the message?

Peace.
