"About this time, maybe late 1978, I joined this band called The Eyes. Charlotte Caffey had been playing bass and I think keyboards and stuff. She left to go form the Go-Go's. As a matter of fact, Belinda Carlisle and Jane Wiedlin got their first actual stage experience as members of Randy's Blackettes... I know this, I remember this, I have photos to prove it.... Joe Ramirez, the leader of The Eyes, was a cerebral master of the unexpected lyric in front of the musical conventions of punk rock. His musical concept fit into the Wire keep-'em-coming-too-fast-to-know groove, and the lyrics he wrote with John Richey were way over most people's heads."
