The first time I ever saw "Diamond" Dave Whitaker, he was wearing this ratty-assed army style olive jacket with a huge round patch on the back with a peace sign, with a rainbow hued tie-dye background, at the top announcing "Four Generations of Hipstory,” with four words around the outside: BEAT, HIPPIE, PUNK, SKINS. He took a lot of shit for that last one, so he always qualified it by saying he aligned with SHARP = Skinheads Against Racial Prejudice.
