NOTES:
Photo of The Jon Spencer Blues Explosion‘s touring van (as immortalised in the song ’78 Style) posted online by the Cheater Slicks with the following caption:

“Our infamous van parked in Columbus mid nineties. We bought this van from Jon Spencer and had a flame job painted. Then when we got to Columbus people started tagging it. It eventually was completely covered with graffiti. It eventually was given to Gene Mullett where it met it final fate when his garage was set on fire and the city came in and towed off, probably crushing it. Bands that toured in it: Pussy Galore, Blues Explosion, Boss Hog, Honeymoon Killers, Gibson Bros, Cheater Slicks. Legendary!
